Recipe: Pig Cake by Ree Drummond Pioneer Woman
I saw Ree's recipe and by it's name I thought okay, I like pigs. Well this is one of the best of the bestiest pot luck kind of recipes I have used and tasted. I did not change a thing in this recipe It was absolutely perfect. I am even posting Ree's format and a link to her gorgeous, funny and outrageously tasty blog. CLICK HERE Ree has photo by photo instructions which is something I want to start but feel really silly taking pictures of me doing the baking. (silly huh) Cake mix, yeah, how about that I like those cake mixes when you add to them. Thanks Ree for the yumminess today.
