I got this recipe from a old man at a farmers market who's wife enjoys making this with her grand kids. The best part is that I can read one of my favorite Maurice Sendak books, "In the Night Kitchen" with my kids while eating cake for breakfast-- what could be better?
If you do check out the book be aware of two things; you need to read it with a jazzy do-op sing song for the bakers, and sorry but the little boy falls out of his clothes and reveals all so if that bothers you, maybe it's not for you.

Dang it, I wish we could eat cake and read with you today! And the little-boy-naked thing doesn't bother me. Heck, my son has been half naked (I'll let you guess which half) for the last 3 days while we've been potty training. We miss you!
