The original recipe is from Tracy Kirk on allrecipes.com but this is my altered version. I found the original too sweet so I had halfed the sugar and the following revised version is raved about and a family favourite. The original recipe also came with cr. cheese frosting recipe. I left that off as I don’t always use the same one.
