You can't miss with this delightful old-fashioned dessert. The cake is moist and chocolaty, and its light, fluffy frosting stirs up in a jiffy. Use vanilla pudding instead of chocolate in the frosting if you wish. -Catherine Dawe, Kent, Ohio

Found this highly rated recipe and used in for a funeral luncheon I was organizing. I never had made it before but passed the recipe out. It was super yummy. Quickly disappeared from the buffet table.

Every time I make this cake, the recipe is the first thing they ask for when they can talk!! I have change the pudding & whipped topping flavors too. I have also put a regular frosting on it and it makes no difference, the cake still tastes awesome!!
