Because this starts with a boxed mix, it is easy to make, but very delicious. I've made it several times and it has always gotten wonderful reviews. While it may bring back memories of a Devil Dog, it is MUCH better tasting! Moist and delicious. You won't be disappointed.

This recipe is excellent and very easy to make. I've also dressed it up at Valentine's Day with chocolate covered strawberries on top instead of chocolate shavings. Hugh success!!

We enjoyed this torte very much. For those of you who can remember the taste of the small hot dog shaped cake with a cream filling called a Devel Dog, then this will bring back memories.
