UBC Ponderosa Cake

Edit – I split this post from another one I wrote a number of months ago so the recipe was easier to find. My brother in law and his wife are happily married over a year now. 🙂

A few weeks ago we had this rehearsal dinner for my brother in law and his fiance (who are now married!) and my mom in law made this KILLER YUMMY cake that she referred to as UBC cake which everyone in the Arbo clan apparently knew about except me and I feel that my life has been cheated. This cake makes me cry its so yummy.   Um, hello, Awesome, won’t you stay a while?

1/2 cup sour cream
