I made this recipe for my daughter's 30th birthday. The cake was very easy and the icing was especially easy and very tasty. It was such a hit, my oldest grandson has requested it for his birthday in February.

The cake was delicious. The frosting is good, but not very sweet, so if you like semi-sweet or dark chocolate, you would like it. The frosting was difficult to spread and the whipped cream stars didn't work at all for me, so I ended up just spooning teaspoons full of whipped cream and topping with half a maraschino cherry. I baked mine 50 minutes and it was definitely done.

I made this cake for my daughter's sorority dinner. Instead of the raspberries, I used strawberries, putting the smaller strawberries in the center of the cake, and letting the large strawberries appear to be coming out of the cake. I drizzled the frosting over the strawberries, very lightly, then over the cake, and then over strawberries that I had surrounding the cake. Not only was it a beautiful cake, but it tasted wonderful! I'm making it again for Thanksgiving.

the semisweet chocolate was not good icing, i forgot the sour cream in the cake so it wasnt as good as it should ve been. i took it to a church dinner it did not go over good at all.

I found the frosting to be very, very, sweet; so what I did was warm the cake for 30 seconds in the microwave to soften the frosting. It was excellent that way. I think I would try to use a more "creamier" frosting next time. Defintely will make again; just need to add my touches to it.

I have had a recipe for years very similar to the cake, but I had been looking for a good icing. This is delicious. One variation to my cake recipe that adds an extra chocolate surprise is that I fold in 1- 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips to the cake batter just before pouring it into the pan.
