I love reading The Pioneer Woman. I think she is a fabulous writer, cook and photographer. She has been blogging for quite some time now and while I was browsing her blog, I came across this recipe. Though, I have to admit my cake is nothing compared to hers, so please head over there to check out her amazing blueberry crumble cake *drools*. Mine, on the other hand, just doubled up in size. I accidentally read the method wrong and instead of using a large rectangular pan, I used a small round baking pan! But do come back here to try out the recipe. I’ve translated the American cooking measurements as I don’t like how they use ‘stick’ for butter.
