  • “Yummy dessert. Impressive enough for company.I had expected this to be complicated, but it was about as easy as any two layer cake.I made a half size cake in a 11 X 7 brownie pan because we don’t eat many sweets these days.It was just right.I can’t believe no one has tried this since 2002!Thanks for posting, Kathy.”
