It was delicious! I made 2 cakes. For the first one, I stuck to this recipe. For the second one, I added the following: 4 pkts. Dream whip powder (chocolate flavour), 1 pkt. Cappucino cooler, 1 tin sliced pineapple with its sugar syrup and 4 tbsp (heaped) Of Chocolate Ice cream(from Baskin Robbins). For the second and the first cakes, I used only 1/2 cup butter and not 1.
