  1. This recipe is easy! One bowl and you've got an impressive dessert to bring to a party. I made this in regular muffin tins - it is meant for mini-muffin tins - I liked the bigger size of the cakes, the cook-time was the same, although I'd knock a couple minutes off next time for a creamier texture. People couldn't believe that the crust was plain wheat germ. They were a big hit.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

(As many of you know Silent Cricket passed away on Feb. 29. Since she loved Recipezaar so much and so many on Recipezaar have shown their love for her, and have enjoyed her recipes, her personal information will remain here indefinitely just as she wrote it. Her lines at the end of this section sound somewhat prophetic as the last chapter of her earthly existence has been written.) Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
