I get the cake in the oven first so it can bake while we're eating. It's wonderful served warm.—Marilyn Janssen, Dawson Creek, British Columbia

I really liked this recipe. All the staples I had at home. The sauce is supposed to be runny. You turn your piece over onto the plate so the sauce is running all over the piece of cake.

My sauce was too thin (watery). We did not enjoy the texture or the flavor. Next time I'll make chocolate cake and top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with hot fudge.
