Delightful! Next time though, I will make extra chocolate topping to coat the bottom layer before the cream cheese and cool whip go on. This cake is SO good!!

I haven't made this cake yet, but I'm giving it 5 stars anyway! I have searched EVERYWHERE for a recipe exactly like this one; I even have an OREO cookbook, and it has no recipe like this. I'll be baking it for one of my husband's colleagues next month...I'll check back in with my results then!

WOW! So easy but it looks like you slaved for hours in the kitchen. Baked it for my daughter's birthday, served it with mint icecream, a huge hit.

My son, who watches his weight very closely, said "Mom, how often are you going to make this cake?" I said, "I don't know, why?" He said "don't make it too often because it's so good and too tempting!" That means it's awesome!

Very delicious and easy cake to make! Will definitely use this recipe again and again. I did not have the topping suggested, but used store bought milk chocolate icing which worked great.

WOW! This cake is outstanding. I bake cakes for my extended family fairly often and was surprised that this one got rave reviews from all around. In fact, several family members requested this cake for their upcoming birthdays. This is one of the easiest cakes I have ever made and it was the fastest to disappear from the platter - someone actually had thirds!! Anyway, I used a dark chocolate cake mix, instead of devil's food, but I'm sure there's not much difference. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and wouldn't change a thing!

I usually do not bake. I have ruined many cakes. This wonderful cake was so easy, the whole family loves it. Perfect with a glass of cold milk.

Very easy! The inside tasted just like "Dirt Dessert". Everyone raved about it too!
