Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

    Garnishing this cake with chopped peanuts not only looks pretty, it helps your guests know that the dessert is made with peanuts - vitally important information for those with allergies. This cake is sturdy enough to slice, wrap and pack for brown bag picnics and lunches.
