This recipe is quick, simple & delicious! Just sweet enough to satisfy a craving. We like it served warm with vanilla bean ice cream. I will be making this one alot!

I think this is an easy and very tasty recipe. I used Land o Lakes light butter with canola oil making it even lower in fat. I like that it doesn't make a large cake, just enough!
