I learned to make this yummy cake in a microwave cooking class more than 15 years ago. I keep cans of cream cheese frosting in the cupboard and usually have the rest of the ingredients on hand. It's nice to invite company for dinner at the last minute and have a great homemade dessert in no time. -Judie Arnold, East Peoria, Illinois

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out dry and bland.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
