Delicious! My mother used to make a cake like this and it was always one of my favorites. I was happy to see the recipe and being a big fan of the King Arthur Flour recipes (they are all fantastic no fail recipes) I decided to try it. The ingredients were simple and the results were amazing! My family gobbled it up. Oh course, it's really great with vanilla ice cream to go with the yummy hot fudgey sauce at the bottom of the cake.
