SLICE OF HEAVEN CAKE
I first had this cake at a friend's house about 10 years ago. I begged her for the recipe for two weeks before she finally gave in and honored me with the recipe. It's a little time consuming, but you end up with a very elegant and delicious cake.

Beat 2 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla. Fold in chocolate chips, pecans and coconut. Bake in 2 well-greased, floured 9-inch cake pans at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. When done, let cakes cool for 10 minutes and remove from pans. Allow cakes to cool completely. While cake is baking, prepare the Chocolate Custard.

- Tip: To keep your serving plate clean, put strips of wax paper along the edges of the cake covering the plate. When you are finished frosting the cake, gently remove the pieces of wax paper.
SLICE OF HEAVEN APPLE SPICE CAKE
This is a recipe that I clipped from a flyer in the Sunday paper some time ago. Since it's a little different than the other apple spice cakes on Zaar, I thought I'd share it. Because bake times and servings are dependent on the pan size you choose, the times I have given here are approximate.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe dates: This will ensure that your cake has the best flavor and texture.
- Soak the dates in hot water before using them: This will help to soften them and make them easier to blend.
- Use a food processor or blender to blend the dates: This will help to create a smooth and creamy batter.
- Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract to the batter and mix until well combined: Make sure that the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan: Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use your favorite frosting recipe to frost the cake: A cream cheese frosting or a chocolate ganache would be delicious.
