You simply must try this cake recipe. It is so amazingly delicious, it might just be my favorite. The first time I tried it was shortly after Luke was born and someone from church had brought us a meal and this was the dessert. It is, indeed, a good ol' Mennonite recipe which means it isn't very healthy. You could make a few changes. Substitute whole wheat flour and cut back on the sugar. But the original is so yummy that I dare not. I hope you enjoy!

Cinnamon sauce:
