Today’s recipe is my first post as a new host of Save Room for Dessert from OuR kRAzy kitChEn. I am beyond excited! Baking is a passion of mine, so when I emailed Tamy about the possibility of being a part of OuR kRAzy kitChEn, and she responded with an offer to be a host, I jumped at the chance. Just a little bit about me – I’ve been blogging over at my site, Louanne’s Kitchen, since February, and it’s been more fun and rewarding than I ever could have imagined. I’m married to Brett and I’m a mom to Andrew, and by day, I’m a librarian; we live in south Louisiana, just across Lake Pontchartrain, north of New Orleans. My cooking style is varied – I love to try new ethnic dishes – my current favorite is curry – but I also make many dishes passed down from my Sicilian & French grandparents. I’m looking forward to meeting you all and can’t wait to try out the delicious recipes I’ve found here!Now, on to the reason we’re all here…

What a way to start. Thisis some beautiful recipe. I want to make it but only for company. It is just too nice.
This looks so scrumptious Louanne! Chocolate marshmallow cakes always remind me of devil dogs. It sure would cure the raging sweet tooth I have going on right now!
Oh. My. Gosh! I LoVe Chocolate, and that looks soooo good!
Thank you all for the kind comments! I’m so happy to be a part of such a great group of cooks.
I’m sorry I didn’t give a substitute for the agave syrup in the recipe itself. You can use light molasses, Lyle’s golden syrup, or even corn syrup as a substitute. I’m sure honey would work, as well, but the flavor may be affected, not in a bad way, but just a little different.
Wow! What a gorgeous cake and sounds absolutely scrumptious! Welcome to Our Krazy Kitchen and excellent job on your first post with us 🙂
Really great cake recipe.
Absolutely delicious.
Wishing you all a great week.
Awesome work Louanne ♥
I’ll take some of that for breakfast lunch AND dinner!!
Wow, what a cake! Since I have all the ingredients, except agave syrup, I shall definitely make it, and soon. Any suggestions for the agave syrup substitute?
Welcome aboard Louanne! This cake looks and sounds decadently amazing. Hubby is oohing and aahing over my shoulder with pleading eyes so I know this is going on my menu plan soon. Thanks for such a mouth watering recipe.
