Love making this cake but I found that 65 min to cook is not long enough. I decorate for the holidays. Red and green for Christmas and pastels for Easter!

I have made this recipe on several occasions and everyone loves it. It is really quite light and moist. It has become my family's favorite and I have given this recipe out over and over again. Thanks for this great recipe!

I've made this cake several times and still have trouble with the cream cheese filling. I learned that you DON'T microwave the cream cheese to soften and also tried sitting it out for awhile and still goes to the bottom. HELP! Wonder if putting back in fridge to chill before adding to cake mix would fix this problem? I did the devil's food for Christmas [from the magazine] and Easter, I used yellow cake - tinted cream cheese blueish - tinted frosting peachish - tinted coconut light green - put egg- shaped sprinkles and stood Hershey's chocolate bunnies on top. This is a cute cake and NEEDS to be put in fridge and made the day before serving.

I loved this cake, but the only problem I had was getting the pudding to thicken. I had to throw it away. I had a tub of icing and used it. I also had this problem when I made the fruit tart with the pudding.
