What a delicious cake! I used this for my daughter's bday cake, and baked it in 2 9-inch round layer pans. Took approximately 50 minutes to bake at 325. She requested a strawberry filling, so I took the quick and easy route of using preserves. Topped with the frosting from Recipe #427763 and then decorated it to look like Pac-Man! :-D HUGE success and now I don't know how I will keep from eating all the leftovers up all by myself!<br/><br/>Thank you so much for giving me the perfect recipe to use when someone (oddly) doesn't want a chocolate cake (my specialty!) This will go in my permanent file.

Absolutely delicious cake!! Easy to throw together... I cut my cake in half and just dusted one half with powdered sugar as in JuneBugs pictures. The other half I drizzled a 1/2 recipe of Chef #89831 's Recipe #120835. Both version were amazing and to my chagrin the only dessert with no leftovers at a party of 10!

I am a wife, Mother and Grandmother. I am a native Texan and can't imagine living anywhere else. My Grandmother taught me to cook before I could see the top of the counter. I remember standing on a stool in her kitchen learning to make pancakes. My Mother loved to cook and it seems she was cooking (or cleaning) most of the time. So those are the two ladies responsible for nurturing my love of cooking!

As you can see I cook and review recipes more than I post them. That's because I am a pinch of this and a dollop of that cook and it's hard to put those recipes down on paper.
