This cake is delicious, my grandmother gave me this recipe two years ago. She brought it to my house to give to my family when my baby sister was born. I remember that I had six pieces of it while my mother and grandmother were talking! It was gone by the next day, and guess who ate the last few pieces… that is right , yours truly! It is a lot like a sweet brownie.

I tried this tonight for cupcakes and they turned out beautifully! The only problem I had was that they crowned really high, otherwise they made a nice, moist cake!
