24 KARAT CAKE



24 Karat Cake image

This recipe is from "FiftyFive Restaurant Group - Their Chefs and Recipes" cookbook back in the 80's - a small chain of casual upscale eateries in and around Columbus, Ohio. Most the the ten locations have now closed, unfortunately. This cake is rich, decadent, sure to impress, and well worth the inch it's going to add to the waistline!
