FIRST TIME I EVER TRIED THIS:   Every day after diving in Bonaire, the requisite two dives, two sites, pack up into jeep and drive back to our place. Exhausted from the dive, and....hungry, we passed by a bakery at the edge of town. Every day a list of the foods that had been prepared were posted. Wow, they looked great, whole meals, chocolate cake, yummy....and then every day was the disappointing post "Sold Out". The last day of diving we were limited by the time. Had to spend a day in "gas off" to avoid the bends. No one in my group would want to push the limit on that medical disaster. So, the last day we drove by, equipment in tow in the back, sweaty, salty and hungry..waiting to be disappointed once again and guess what. No sold out sign. We stopped and piled in all of the food we could. The cake was incredible, the chef/baker informed us if we were to get the recipe from her, she would have to end our lives....so, for anyone reading this is is NOT her recipe. That bakery supplied the local resorts and passersby like us. This is NOT the same recipe and if any baker/chefs are reading this, especially from Bonaire, it does not taste as good.
