Wow, what a fantastic cake. It was delicious! I ate a piece of it every day and still lost weight! I can't be on a diet if I can't have dessert and this cake really satisfied my sweet tooth! This is definitely a winner! Thank you so much. Although I am a little confused as to why it's called "Mexican Skillet Cake"??
