Do you know what time it is Boys and Girls?? It is time for Jana's YUMMY, DELICIOUS, LIGHT, LUSCIOUS, COOL, REFRESHING, OH SO TASTY------

SUNSHINE CAKE!!!

It has reached the perfect weather for it and I am on my way out the door to buy the ingredients to make it....

How do you beat 90 degree weather? SUNSHINE CAKE!!!

(I kinda like it...)

oh! How do y'all think it would taste if I tried coconut pudding, or banana pudding?? I would hate to mess up a good thing, but I am curious....

[MudderBear]

I absolutely LOVE Sunshine Cake!!! I don't make it very often cuz there are only a few in our family that likes coconut and,,,,,you just gotta have the coconut!
I think that any of those pudding flavours would be good to try!

[LaurenB]

Coconut? I hadn't thought of that..... Well, I chickened out and got the vanilla pudding. I just couldn't take the chance of messing up the perfection that IS the Sunshine Cake!!
