Cook Time:
There’s nothing better than spending a crisp fall afternoon curled up under a blanket with a good book, unless you add a fluffy and moist piece of cake into the picture. Not only does this no-fuss dessert taste divine, but it’s delicious enough to share while the hero in your novel holds you captive chapter after chapter.
