I made this for Brett's birthday. As soon as it was gone I was ready to make another one. The only thing that stopped me was that I was out of sour cream.
ps. Make sure you have a lot of people to help you eat this cake. You will be tempted to eat the whole thing yourself.
ha! It's 3 am. Can't sleep so I'm heading to the kitchen for a piece of this cake and a tall glass of ice cold milk!! Gotta love the sleepless nights during the last month of pregnancy! :)
