Birthday Cake

Fudge Ribbon Cake

For my birthday my mom made me this yummy cake. I used to eat this all the time and had totally forgotten it! It is a recipe from my Dad's mom. She is an amazing baker/chef. So, this brought back a lot of memories! Thought I would share the recipe! Look how pretty it looks! I love the cream cheese swirl.

This is a picture of Nestle Choco Bake. I would never had known what it was without seeing it!
