"This is so easy to throw together. This recipe makes good use of any extra fresh fruit that may become overripe if not used. Smells delicious while cooking and is great served warm from the oven."

Had been wanting to try this for awhile. I had all the ingredients and putting it together was quick and easy enough. It was a little sweet without the ice cream, which I didn't have, but a very nice compliment with a cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk. I will make this again. Thanks for sharing.

Right you are MRSJSPANTS * this is easy and quick to prepare. I baked the cake in an 8" square dish, sprinkled the top with chopped pecans and coconut, did not add the 1/4 cup of brown sugar, the batter was sweet enough! The crunchy nuts were a great addition to this cake. The family really enjoyed the dessert, served DH's with ice cream and mine with some thick coconut yogurt, very yummy!!
