“This is an easy cake for late at night when you want something quick. It use to be on the Bisquick box, but when I went to make it one day, it wasn’t there any more, so it had to find an old box. Lesson learned, always copy recipes into your cookbook from backs of boxes before they disappear! This topping is good on other cakes as well for when you don’t want to wait for the cake to cool to put frosting on it.” – Calla Ferre
