When James and I started dating Thanksgiving was our first holiday. Unfortunately, he had to work. So I decided to bake the hardworking officers from both day and night shifts each a cake. Yes two cakes! But not tell James I was doing this.

The next time we saw each other he started going on and on about this delicious cake that someone dropped off at the station. When I told him I made it he proposed! I’m kidding but it wasn’t to long after the cake that he did!

I hope you enjoy this recipe this holiday season and maybe it will win something for you too! I make this cake every year on or around November 9th the anniversary of when we met.

Have a great day!
