I got very mixed reviews when I served this dessert, so it was very hard to rate. It is a very easy cake to make. The sauce is simply amazing! I used pillsbury banana bread mix as I couldn't find any nut breat. I think next time I would try a different kind of mix as I think the banana flavor took away from the cake. I also left out the walnuts because of the kids. Overall this is an easy and tasty cake. Thanks kittycatmom for a tasty treat last night. Made for PAC Fall 2008.
