I knew my mother was setting the bar high when she said someone proposed to her over this cake.
It was something of a joke, tossed out as “I will marry whoever made this cake”. Regardless, it should be taken as a sign that 1) my mom is amazing baker and 2) this is a damn good cake. So while no proposals emerged from my production of this cake, it still received lots of high marks from my friends for being moist and yet crunchy on top.
