I have made this cake many times and it is fabulous! I'd put the icing on hot dogs if I thought I could get away with it. Both cake and icing are delish.Just sit back and wait for the kudos.

Wow! What a taste! Excellent Recipe! Moist, creamy... too yummy. I made this recipe and was gone in a day, my husband and my father in law loved it. I definitely have to make it again. This is a must keep.

I have made this cake a number of times and it is a huge hit every time! My suggestion is to make it two days ahead, because it soaks up the icing and is super moist yet dense. The best cake ever!

Great simple way to dress up a cake. I made this for Easter with a white cake mix and it was a hit. Just make sure you chill the frosting long enough so it's nice and cold.
