Penna Dutch Cake Inside Pie Shell
From choclytcandy 15 years agoIngredients
- Excerpt from site: This traditional Penna. Dutch cake within a pie shell is dense, chocolatey, and oh-so-yummy. (I’ve yet to find anything funny about it, though.) Without fail, this cake always overflows its shell during the baking process every time I make it – you might want to stick a sheet pan on the bottom rack just in case you have the same luck.•1 9″ pie shell (store-bought or your favorite recipe) shopping list
