Pancakes and Bacon Cake
This is such a fun recipe. I’ve had pancakes and bacon cupcakes at some of my favorite bakeries and this cake has the same delicious flavors! I had to come home and create my own version! Wait until you sink your teeth into the maple buttercream. To die for with those bacon chunks on top.
