When I want to serve a really special dessert, I turn to this recipe. The tender, four-layer chocolate cake has a yummy pudding-like filling. Instead of the whipped cream frosting, you could use chocolate-flavored whipped topping. —Lois Gallup Edwards, Woodland, California

So, yummy. I had some issues with the filling being runny...and then it oozed everywhere when I was stacking it. Any tips? Or am I just an inexperienced cake baker?

Very good. I made this for my husband's birthday because he does not like rich frosting. I thought the filling was great, and the cake and frosting were OK, but put all together the sum of the parts was really delicious, ESPECIALLY when eaten with ice cream. Will make again.

Because of the whipped cream topping, does this have to be refrigerated or eaten immediately?babsvo

Hi skfptl, You wanted to know how to make chocolate curls on top of a cake? All you do is get a chocolate bar and use a vegetable peeler and draw against the edge. With practice you can do really long pretty curls. Good luck! :) DLB213@comcast.net

it's so good! i share a birthday party with my mother and sister so we usually have more than one cake. everyone at the party loved it. i modified it a bit by only using the two cakes instead of cutting them both in half because i was worried i would masacre them. it still came out great.
