Butterscotch Soaked Cake - OMG this is good

All I can say is try this cake.  - Unbelievably good, and not as sweet as you would think.  Don't let the ingredients scare you.  Tim knew what was in the cake and still tried it.  He loved it!  :)

My Strawberry Cheese Tart..  Hmmm, what can I say. . ..  A pound of berries and a few frig staples and you're done.  It's an easy-peasy dessert that always impresses at a casual family dinner and wows at a dinner party or potluck.  The key hear is not to tell anyone how easy it was to throw together.
