Very sweet and decadent. I might change the topping next time since my son didn't care for it. I love how moist this was without being soggy. My only change was to bake in a 9 inch round cake pan. Next time I'll try to cut back on fat by using applesauce instead of butter and maybe fiddle with the carb count for my diet. I did have some and it was worth the cheat tho. :-)
