This cake is very delicious and all the family can't imagine that I made it by myself. By the way , this is the first recipe I tried from this site . I think that the beginning is good.

I made this yesterday for a b-day party today; have not tried it yet but I would just like to say that it was really easy to make and it looks beautiful. I put some pink, red and white candy hearts on the top. I changed it from four stars to three because while it looked great and was easy, it was on the heavy side and a bit dry but was still very good

This did not turn out so good for me. The chocolate batter didn't "do" anything. I just ended up with a cake with a yellow layer and a chocolate layer. I may try this again since I like to use my bundt pan. Any ideas of what I may have done wrong would be appreciated.

This turned out quite nicely! I followed the directions. My daughter enjoyed it without the frosting. I liked it with the frosting. Thanks!
