Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

A serving of this sweet treat goes a long way on chocolate flavor.

Special Extra

If you don't have a traditional cake plate or pedestal plate to serve this cake on, you can use any large round plate instead. Just cover the plate with an inexpensive paper doily before topping with the cake.

It was actually pretty easy to make and came out well. The icing was too much and you could probably cut the portion in half. Additionally, the stars on the icing didn't really turn out well.

I JUST SHARED THIS RECIPE WITH A FRIEND IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER TOMORROW. I TOLD HER THAT I HAD ALREADY PREPARED THE RECIPE AND THAT IT TURNED OUT GREAT FOR MY THANKSGIVING DINNER TOMORROW. IT WAS GREAT FOR ME TO SEE HOW WELL IT TURNED OUT. I KNOW IT WILL BE ENJOYED BY MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. (HAPPY THANKSGIVING)

The recipe states to immediately put the cool whip on the cake to make the snowflakes but with the chocolate/cool whip mixture still warm it melts teh cool whip and it runs down the side of the cake. very disappointing appear wise.

Made this for a birthday party at work. It was a HIT, not a crumb left. One guy who doesn't like cake asked for the recipe for his wife. Truly BLISSful!

The cake is soooo delicious. It came out wonderfully moist. The chocolate glaze was heavenly. However, the recipe makes too much frosting and the stars just did not work out. Next time I'll just make lesser frosting.

Beautiful presentation! Make sure that you're a fan of dark chocolate though, or else you may think the frosting is too bitter, as was my case. If I made this again, I would use a sweeter glaze. Don't be alarmed when the batter is very thick! And as with the other comments, my Cool Whip stars didn't turn out either. I just made them into dallops and it worked nicely anyway.

I made this cake for a work function. It is absolutely FABULOUS. The batter was very thick, so I felt safe in adding chocolate chips also. The frosting is the easiest recipe ever. I replaced two of the semi-sweet squares with bittersweet chocolate. I make a ganache for another recipe, which will be replaced by this frosting.

Made this for my son's 10th bday and he hates sour cream but what he doesn't know tastes GREAT!!Easy to make but don't be alarmed with thick batter. We didn't use the raspberries but my daughter has requested the same for her bday + raspberries so we will get full effect soon.
