This was so easy to throw together, and the results were even better. Mine was done in 25 minutes, and the flavor was absolutely fantastic. Will keep this one. Made for PRMR tag.

First, let me say that I don't know what that picture (by lilsweetie) is of, but it's not this recipe. This was really good and so easy to put together. I used one (10oz, 5 biscuit) can of buttermilk grands), dried fruit bits for the raisins, and pecans for the walnuts. Similar ingredients and it turned out wonderful. It maxed out baked in 20 minutes (almost overdone) but everyone's oven is different, right? lol. I inverted right onto a plate, then began making the glaze and put that onto the cake and served. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Very easy and good. The bake time was too long in my oven, so I took it out long before the timer went off. Keep an eye on this as it browns pretty quickly. I'll make this again for sure.
