This was okay warm from the oven, but after it cooled it had a very unappealing clammy texture. My kids wouldn't touch it and we threw out over half of it--very rare for desserts in our house.

I made this cake for a family get together and it got great raves from the kids as well as the adults. I doubled the recipe, thankfully, because the hostess couldn't wait to have the leftovers f...
