After a long break from posting to my blog, I am back with a recipe that is sure to please a small family! This makes a small 9 x 9 inch cake, perfect for a last minute dessert tonight after supper! I serve it hot, so after broiling the frosting wait about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to serve, if you can wait that long.
