My husband just loved this cake. It's very moist, but a bit too sweet for my taste. I don't matter though, since any baking I do, I do for my husband. LoL! I did have to make a modification in regards to the icing. I never buy Cool Whip, so I used the cream cheese and added 4 tblsp. of butter along with some milk and whipped it for a few minutes. Good idea for those leftover Reese's candies. :)
