This cake has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. I had a friend in fifth grade, she was Mexican and her Mother made it during our slumber party. I didn’t realize it was the same cake until I had it at a restaurant several years later, jotted down the name, and looked up the recipe.

I made this cake last night, and I think you should make it, right now. Your taste buds need this cake. They will dance, I promise. Click here to get Alton’s Brown’s version of this recipe
