  6. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 15 minutes. When cool, place powdered sugar in a mesh sieve, or a sifter, and dust the cake with powdered sugar, if desired. Cut into squares and serve. Brenda Venable Cook’s Note Change up the recipe by varying the add-ins. Use chopped peanuts, pecans, or walnuts.  Dried cherries may be added, or peanut butter chips, or English toffee bits. Let your imagination and your pantry be your guides.
