Jiffy Pudding

"If you're not counting calories, this is for you. It's rich, sweet, and easy to make and my favourite recipe. Serve it hot with ice cream, warm or cold, you decide. When you put it together you will think there is something wrong with the recipe but trust me, it works just fine. The recipe says to use a bundt pan but I found that a large casserole dish works better, as the bundt pan isn't large enough."
