Yes, this cake is so good that I had to snap a picture of it before we ate it all! Every once in awhile a recipe comes across the Facebook news feed that looks too good to not try. Then, you read through the ingredients and you realize that you have everything on hand! That happened with this recipe last Saturday and this did not disappoint! It was good still really, really warm (almost hot), it was good warm and it was good cold. The perfect dessert. I altered it slightly so my husband could eat it and I couldn't tell - I have some vegan butter that I use for him and then, well, I just used water instead of milk. It turned out perfectly fine :-)
