Recipe from the "Women Who Can Dish It Out -- Junior League of Springfield, Missouri" cookbook. I love cakes that can be stored in the fridge -- this allows my hubby to sample a piece each night after dinner. This recipe calls for the "lighter version" of ingredients in order to avoid any guilt in having a piece night after night until its gone.
