  1. I was looking for a simple dessert that didn't use butter in it (I was almost out of it) and I have to admit that the name of this recipe really caught my eye. It smelled wonderful while it was cooking and it has a real old-fashioned flavor. Everyone liked it but we all agreed that it would probably taste better with some kind of frosting on it. So the next time I make it, that is what I will do. Thanks Lenny for a great keeper.
