Made by Moonface: Popcorn Cake

Moonface is a baker at heart; and she's very creative in the kitchen. Her music teacher sent her a lovely storytime video. 
At the end of the video she shared an easy and fun recipe for popcorn cake. When we saw the video, Moonface and I were drooling, and we knew - without saying a word that it would be on our To-Bake list. 

Have you ever heard of or made a popcorn cake? 
If you've never made a popcorn cake, well, you must, right away. It's fun, and delicious.
