If you are craving a sweet treat but don’t feel like spending time baking or getting a store bought cake, then this is the recipe for you. This is instant dessert gratification in less than 5 minutes. I was so surprised how spongey and light this was that I felt zero guilt indulging it. I hope you will too!
