So is that enough explanation needed to get you to try this yet? If not, I’m sure I can come up with another HUGE list of reasons why you need to run and make this Cake Gravy as fast as you can!
Just in case you are thinking… this sounds familiar! It’s because this recipe is similar to a traditional ermine frosting.
