Be warned this is a special treat...there is no pretense of a healthy version of dessert here, but if you love the taste of butter, brown sugar and a whole lot of delicious then this cake is for you. Sometimes you just have to have that cheat day:)
My Aunty Bev and her family lived in West Virginia for a short time and I believe this is one of the recipes that came back with them.
This was one of my favourite after school treats.
