“We have a cottage on Lily Bay on Lake Michigan. We host a Labor Day picnic for all the neighbors near us to celebrate the end of summer each year. Someone brought this fudge cake to the picnic years ago and everyone loved it! I have been making it ever since. The coffee is a key ingredient. It would be fun to try your other flavors to see how the flavor of the dessert might change.”
