Tagalong Cake

"This is a quick and easy recipe starting out with a cake mix. I take it to a lot of potlucks because it travels well. The "frosting" bakes along with the cake."

  1. I did not use the nuts, but other than that followed the recipe, right down to the swiss chocolate cake mix. It was not "rocky roady" at all - the marshmallows sort of disappear. It was rich, almost like a brownie but lighter in texture. The 'frosting' added a nice contrasting texture and it did travel well. Easy to make, tasted good, and there were no leftovers. Would be perfect served slightly warm with vanilla ice cream!
     
  2. I made this cake for a family dinner, I didn't get to try it, but it did get rave reviews. I couldn't find the swiss chocolate, so I used devil's food instead. Thanks for a great recipe that travels really well!
     
  3. This is a fantastic cake. The last time I made it Dh brought it to work as a treat. He said it was scary watching a bunch of teamsters fighting over this cake. Do take the time to find a Swiss Chocolate cake mix, (Duncan Hines makes one) it makes all the difference in the world. This cake is uber moist, sweet, and has a little crunch to it as well. I also make it quite often to take to events as it is always a hit and it is easy to put together.
