We all just love it. I can't help but say mmmmmmm with each bite. Once we accidentally used plain flour instead of self rising and liked it even better.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"08\/04\/2011 00:06","GUID":"5c1ac0099af243f09c8952eddc2388a1","MemberId":1492233,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sdmelia@gmail.com","SubmittedDate":"08\/04\/2011 00:06"},{"Comment":"
This is one of those gooey treats that you can't wait to dig into. It is super rich, but so very delicious! I am already planning to make it again!

Really a kids cake, I think. This is an intensely rich, super sweet cake. My son liked it enough that he asked to have it as his birthday cake, but without the pecans, which he didn't like. I didn't like it as well as I thought I would, just because after a few bites it's really plenty. But kids have a great tolerance for sweetness.

This was one of the best homemade cakes I have ever made! What a HIT! Very rich, VERY! I would half the frosting next time.

My husband likes this as his birthday cake every year. A great shortcut is to use a box of devil food cake as the chocolate part and then add the marshmallow and chocolate toppings.<\/p>","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"08\/16\/2007 20:02","GUID":"4C687F1C852E4583B23A86D765F222CC","MemberId":616566,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"cookintiger","SubmittedDate":"10\/03\/2009 14:36"},{"Comment":"
