Baker beware...this recipe calls for way too much baking powder. Mine came out too puffy and crumbly. After researching further, I discovered several other recipes that use only 2 tsp. of baking powder. I think this recipe has a mis-print.

I made this today for a friends birthday that has never had the privilege of tasting TastyKakes. Everyone loved it and it was so easy but the chocolate ran over the plate. I think if you freeze the cake then pour on the the candy coating. It should go on so much easier.. It tasted just like a Kandy Kake.
