Combine wet ingredients. Combine dry ingredients. Mix dry into wet ingredients. (The batter will be thick, and a carmelish color) Place in 9 x 13 pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 55-60 min at 350 degrees. Drizzle with caramel topping (Smucker's or other variety of your choice - the type for ice cream), or a cream cheese frosting (see frosting recipe below).

This is a recipe that was made for our last relief society visiting teaching conference. (if there is anyone else that has a hard time getting a good attendance try taking a Sunday during Relief Society, it worked out really well for our ward.) It is fabulous! Give it a try.
