Janice - this looks great! I'm can't wait to make it. The very best part of this is "pour the warm sauce over the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven" and I say eat it while it's still warm. Yum!
Thanks - you know, looking at the recipe it looks like there might be a "few" calories in the cake - it's ok though when we're doing it for our health, right?
