Oh, that made me think of the dessert my husband's family uses for all of
their special occassions. (After 10 years of marriage, I finally got to *see*
the recipe!) It's called "Hummingbird Cake". It is 3 layers of what is best
described as a spice cake with a homemade cream cheese frosting and sprinkled
with nuts. (Maybe after a few more years, I'll be trusted to *have* the
recipe!!)
