My sister says this cake freezes well. I don't know - it's never lasted long enough to have any to put in the freezer.

I put some of this in the freezer right away so that I don't eat it all up in one day.

The freezer is a safe for me since I know how to open the freezer door!

I make a similar type recipe and add some oatmeal to the topping just to make me feel that it is more healthy!

Thank you for the update. It is not really a "pretty" cake - but we sure like it!
