  1. This soft cake would be a good accompaniment to mangoes or berries and whipped cream on a very hot day when it would be uncomfortable to turn on the oven. When cooked, it looked like a giant sponge (my cake pans are metal so I can't put them in the microwave; I used a glass casserole dish). It was paler than an oven-baked cake, and missed a bit of the "baked" flavor, but it was very soft and, yep, spongy - too much so to frost. Instead, I drizzled chocolate syrup over slices of it.

I am a stay at home mom of 3 girls ages 16,14, and 12...My 16 year old has acted like she was 30 since she was 2, and strongwilled as well...so life is never dull around here. I love surfing the web and taking care of my children. If I had a month off I would take my kids to as many vacation spots as I could and enjoy our time together. Since my children are younger, I could use kid friendly recipes and delicious casserole dishes that I can make for me when I have to cater to their favorite foods. Recipezaar has inspired me to be interested in cooking and sharing recipes! Thanks My Pet Peeves~Don't Touch My Hair Or Feet!
