Baking note from Mama: "I use 1 long glass pan and 1 square pan. Cut cake from glass pan in half, making 3 square layers to ice. Have sauce ready to put on hot cake."

There was no baking time or oven temperature, but it sounds really good.

Sauce:
Cool all ingredients together for 10 minutes. Pour over hot cake when taken from oven. Serve hot or cold.
Can be kept in refrigerator a week or more. Will stay moist and good. Don't overcook.
