GRANDMA'S MOON CAKE
My mother in law brought this dessert to an Easter family reunion. I had never had it before and went nuts over it. I use low calorie stuff as much as possible and you can too, but I'm going to give you the full fat version here. It's like a BIG cream puff and who doesn't like cream puffs?
