Followed the directions on the filling and it was not thick enough so when I placed the top layer of the cake on it all oozed down the sides.

One of my all time favorite cakes ( pie). Mommy use to make the BCP., on special occasions. I will attempt and succeed to make this pie for the first time ever on my own. I can bake pretty good, so I will try to make it as good as my mommy., LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!

Absolutely amazing. The entire cake was finished in minutes. The kids loved it as much as the adults. The filling was delicious and light which helped offset the richness of the chocolate. It is very easy to make, but tastes like you sweated away making it. This has become my go to recipe when I am asked to bring a dessert.

it's a great recipe.. i did some minor adjustments such as adding 8 Oz of Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese to the filling and it added a interesting richness to it. My latest experiment i also added a 8 Oz Philadelphia indulgence Milk chocolate Cream Cheese and it works as well giving it a chocolate taste but not overpowering.
