Two kids is surprisingly easy when you have your mom here helping you for over a week. She was so nice to entertain Owen and take him on special outings, making him feel special too, just like the new baby. Not to mention she cooked for us, cleaned, ran errands, helped through the night…she’s basically super mom.
But now I’m on my own (yikes) so I thought before I turn into an emotional wreck/zombie/too tired to type anything coherent, I’d post this yummy cake my mom made for us.

Thanks for stopping by Stefani!! Hope you come back!
Hey just wanted to know what kind of oil you used? Was it vegetable, olive…????
Don’t some “poke-hole” recipes use sweetened condensed milk, as the “hole filler”? I was just thinking it could save the “over carameling” of this wildly, delicious looking cake! Reserving the caramel as the crowning glory (mingled with the cream-cheese frosting) might be a real palette pleaser? Thoughts? Lastly, I’m sorry if I missed it, but what is the best tool for the “poking”? Many thanks and God bless you for your gift of baking!!
Yes you could do that too!!
