"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
This was my Mom's go-to cake. She almost always had it in the house. I learned quickly that when broiling it, do not leave the oven for a second. It browns quickly and will burn if you give it an extra second or two.
