I am eating this tasty little treat as I am writing this review. Very nice. Easy, moist and lots of flavor. Best of all, it is low fat. I did use egg substitute for the 2 eggs, otherwise followed per directions. Note: I baked at 350 for only 50 minutes and it was definitely done. Thanks for posting this recipe.

This was easy to make and tastes great - finished icing it at 6pm and the family had eaten it all 20 minutes later and wanted more! Great taste with the frozen raspberries. Found it did not quite need that long to cook!
