Very good cake. Agree with other comment to watch carefully last 5 to 10 minutes and pull when sides pull away. Very moist.

i am making it again. made it last week, my family loves it. they requested some cream in the middle. Today we will make it 2 layers with butter cream in the center. I will either break batter in 2 separate cakes or just cut it. Thanks great stuff!

Frosting is excellent. Cake is good.

Loved the cake more than the icing. Thought the icing could have had more of a dark chocolate flavor.

In checking the internet for this recipe, I found the exact recipe and it calls for 2 cups confectioner's sugar to add in the frosting.

Divine! I couldn't keep my little paws out of the frosting. It was very rich though - might be too rich for some, but I'd bend over backwards for it!

The Hundred Dollar Frosting recipe doesn't tell you how much confectioners sugar to add. It was obviously forgotten. I would like to purchase this software but ingredient ommissions can be annoying, sometimes disastrous for a novice cook. Also why are there not images for all the recipes? Thanking you in advance for your input. Diane

Confectioners sugar isn''t mentioned in the ingredients but is mentioned in the instructions. How much confectioners sugar? What about raw egg in the frosting?

Depending on your oven temperature, you might want to undercook this recipe by 5 minutes. Just make sure that you remove the cake as soon as it starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. The cake will be exquisitely moist.
