Cake & Ice-Cream

This is the cake I make for most celebrations in our house.  We LOVE it!  It's from a dear friend but I've adapted it a bit to meet our needs.  The glaze is not necessary, but adds a special touch.  And it's even better with a scoop of coconut ice-cream!  Love this stuff.... http://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/products/coconut-milk-ice-creams
