Last Thanksgiving, my family and I went to my mother's home. On her breakfast bar was a most unusual cake. It had a sauce which appeared to have melted off the cake. Puzzled, I asked what had happened to the cake. Mom informed me it is suppose to have a wine sauce drizzled on it and some of the sauce always drains to the bottom of the cake plate. She invited us to sample a slice of this cake. Mmmm mmmm good!! By the way, it is one of the most fun, easy cakes I have ever made~ and reasonably priced too. This cake is dangerous to your wasteline. One piece is never ever enough!

    This cake freezes well and so making two at once is a great idea because it doesnt take much more time to prep. You'll be glad you made two because pulling it out of the freezer for unexpected guests is so convenient.
