I am a sucker for a good cake. I think it's because my granny would bake a cake every week and it was a personal highlight for me as a kid. I was intrigued with this one, because not only do I love cake but I love me some Gene Simmons (aka The Demon). Don't be scared off by the amount of ingredients or steps, it's really quite easy. This one has been printed and is now in my official "cake binder".
