I was in charge of bring dessert for a family get together that we were having at my moms house. I had been craving cheesecake so that was one thing but then I wanted to make my mom something that would be diabetic friendly. She sent me this recipe and it looked delicious.
The flavor of the cake was great, but the frosting was not so good. Next time I would not do the cream cheese frosting. Otherwise this was excellent.

I bet this would be great with the cream cheese frosting.
Mmm – citrus flavors are always great in baked goods! I’ve been on a slight commenting hiatus with my busy schedule lately… but it’s great to catch up and see what’s cooking in your kitchen!
