I saw the recipe in a magazine and was interested in it because my boyfriend, who is Mexican, likes simple, uncomplicated food and desserts.
This makes a very large cake, that lasts for a week or more in the refrigerator.

You have translated a letter for me to give to him and you did a wonderful job, he said my intent was very clear. Thanks again for your help.

Try the cake, you will like it!
