Just made this and love it. Next time I'll use less sugar and/or put coconut whipped cream on top to tame the sweetness. It's gonna go quick though, it's delicious.

I made this as a 'healthier' Easter dessert. It was absolutely delicious! I had to use a 9" springform pan instead of a skillet, and the baking time was about 40 minutes. The only other change was that I sprinkled turbinado sugar on the top of the cake instead of regualar sugar. It worked out perfectly, was not at all dry like some gluten-free cakes. Thank you for the recipe!
