Does anyone have this recipe handy? Oh how I wish I had the Celebrate cookbook! Someone at my cluster meeting made this last night ~ it is not only BEAUTIFUL to look at, it is AMAZING to eat!

Thanks in advance!

Found it - this is shaped like a dome (using the batter bowl), in the Celebrate cookbook
