Delicious -- made it as a birthday cake for a coworker. The boss came back in to get pieces for his mom & daughter -- lol. Only one criticism -- it took about 45 minutes longer to cook that stated. When it wasn't done, I went and checked the oven with a thermometer probe, and the oven was on temp. <shrug> -
Very good. Was a big hit at an office pot luck. -
Mine fell as soon as I went to pull it out of the oven I was so frustrated I agree with lady with other post prob needed to cook 30 or 45 minutes longer! -

What is on icing on cake, looks like pieces of chocolate -
Debbie is correct. This took about 45 minutes longer to cook. Not sure if the temperature listed in the recipe is maybe too low? But it tasted really good and went over well with my husband who begged me not to take all of it to a reception I made some desserts for. Thanks!
