A wonderful recipe, I used plain lo-fat yogurt instead, since that is what I had, and it turned out exc. I also used a Pillsbury German chocolate cake mix instead of white & it was delish! try it you won't go wrong. I can't wait to do it again.

This cake is so delicious. I've made it approx. 10 times and EVERYONE loves it and asks for the recipe. My Bunco group requests it everytime I host. Just make sure your icing is warm enough and it will drizzle just right.

I've tried the recipe for the topping several times and cannot get it to "drizzle" consistency...any suggestions?
