I agree with Stardustannie, this is very sweet, even though it doesnt have that much sugar. I cooked this in a slightly bigger tray, (the sizes are all different in the USA) and ended up with more of a slice then a cake. I didnt ice it, just cut it up, and it disappeared quickly. thanks kiwipom

This slice is really quick n easy to put together, but it was way too sweet for me...I'd have to tweek the recipe somewhat before making agian. If you have a sweet tooth though I'm sure it'll be right up your alley.
