Great to eat just like this but if you don't mind the calories, icing really takes the cake! Fallon and Vanessa love the broiled topping (1/4 c. butter softened, 1/2 c. packed light brown sugar, 1/2 c. coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans, 1/2 c. flaked coconut and 3 tbsp light cream or evaporated milk...mix together, spread on cooled cake and then broil on low being VERY careful not to burn...cooks quick)
