  1. This was a good cake. Very rich and very very chocolaty. Everyone here at work loved it. I think the ONLY thing I will do different next time is to leave out the chocolate chips in the midde. I would recommend this cake anyone and everyone.
     
  2. I will have to say this cake is delicious.. I made it for Valentine's Day.. THis will be my new dish for family gatherings... Looks intimidating but is really easy!
     
  3. This cake was fantastic - it was made for a friends birthday, and was described by some as the best cake in the world! Despite it's very ugly appearance, it was sensational! Perfectly gooey, sweet and naughty! I will be making it again and again! I used reduced fat margarine and recuded fat evaporated milk to try and help things out a little bit.
     
  4. Oh, Wow! A died & gone to Heaven Cake! Really wonderful, & rich. I'm not much on caramel but this is fantastic. Looks great on the table too.
     
  5. Very yummy, and it presented beautifully! I love that it was made in a springform pan- no layering and icing in between and all that fuss. My one modification- I realized too late that some family members had been in the caramels, and they were no where to be found at the store. I used the ones I had, and then dumped a whole container of irish cream caramel sauce (a small jar) into the pot as well, with some of the milk and less butter than called for. My caramel was still a bit thin, so next time I'll either do what I'm supposed to, or add a lot less milk. The caramel soaked into the bottom layer of cake, which gave it a lovely bailey's flavour. I realized afterwards that a lot of the caramel had solidified underneath the parchment paper in my pan- next time I won't use the parchment at all I don't think. I loved all the nuts in this cake too, a bit of crunch in every bite! I think it lends itself well to substitutions too, I'm looking forward to playing around with it a bit. Was a big hit for thanksgiving dessert.
