Had been wanting to try this for awhile. I had all the ingredients and putting it together was quick and easy enough. It was a little sweet without the ice cream, which I didn't have, but a very nice compliment with a cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk. I will make this again. Thanks for sharing.

Right you are MRSJSPANTS * this is easy and quick to prepare. I baked the cake in an 8" square dish, sprinkled the top with chopped pecans and coconut, did not add the 1/4 cup of brown sugar, the batter was sweet enough! The crunchy nuts were a great addition to this cake. The family really enjoyed the dessert, served DH's with ice cream and mine with some thick coconut yogurt, very yummy!!
