Some suggest serving Sweet Potato Pone as a side dish with meats, but to others it is a dessert or pudding. You decide – either way, it is yummy!

At a Cajun bakery, you will most likely find this kind of very tasty Cajun cookie cake. While not much different from your every day cookie cake you can buy at your local Jewel Osco, this has much more of a homemade taste to it, as well as that splash of Cajun taste to it.
Ingredients
4 Eggs
1 Box of Yellow Cake Mix
8 Ounces of Cream Cheese
3/4 Stick of Butter
