I tore this recipe out of the Kraft magazine a long time ago and finally decided to make it. It definitely has to be chilled, which the magazine version doesn't say. And, WHOOPS! I added 16 oz of Cool Whip, thinking, "There are 8 oz. in a cup and I need 2 cups." I guess it is supposed to be 2 cups by volume, not weight! Silly me! I ended up with enough filling for about three cakes! It was yummy anyway, but I look forward to making it right the next time. (Also, the chocolate topping doesn't really thicken up until cool, by the way.)

Absolutely delicious! I brought it to a party and everyone quickly grabbed a slice and loved it! Definitely serve after refrigerated, when served warm it doesn't taste right at all. 5 stars, all the way!

I love this cake...I made it for my girlfriend's baby shower a year back and everyone just loved it. They all thought i had bought it from the store, they were so surprised to learn that i made it at home. No one wanted the store brought babyshower cake..
