This was such a great recipe Kim! It was so delicious and very easy. I followed the recipe exactly except I had to cut it in half and I baked it in a round cake pan. I think next time I'll try using salted butter instead of unsalted. I think the addition of a little salt would taste really good. This is definitely a keeper!
