This is the kind of thing where you are sitting around one evening and somebody says, "dang, some cake would be great about now", and there is no way you are going to spend the next hour making a cake mix in the oven, or two hours mixing one from scratch, not to mention the clean up involved. In this case, you get up and 5 minutes later you have a pretty good dessert. A lot of variations are available to you too. I paired mine with some vanilla ice cream while it was still warm, a little fudge sauce would have been great too if I would have had some.
