My name is Dave and I'm from Northwest Ohio. I've been cooking since the age of 14 and have loved it ever since. I try not to cook anything really fancy, just everyday hearty comfort type food. Keep it simple and have fun!

Made the cake! Super yummy, the only thing I changed was the reduction of sugar 3 to 2 cups and that was still too sweet, for me, I love desserts, I have to be careful of the sugar. Thank you for a wonderful recipe. Keeper. Hope I don’t lose this one too.
