I got this recipe from Heather, originally from Vicki. It's great by itself - but I also saturated it with Heather's chocolate sauce and topped it with Michelle's Cinnabon cream cheese frosting. So good. I halved each of these recipes to make a small cake. And even then I only used about half the chocolate sauce - so maybe make less of that? Or just save it and eat it on ice cream. It's delicious that way.
