SO time consuming! Took about 2 hours to make. The cake part came out pretty bland tasting. The carmel topping was good, but you need to double the recipie...it didn't make enough to cover the cake well. The marshmallow topping was pretty good. Not worth the time to make it.

It is very time comsumig. My family did not like the caramel or marshmellow topping. While I would not make the entire cake, I would, however; make just the chocolate cake and put a chocolate frotsing on top. Iike the appelsauce and buttermild.

The only problem with this cake is that there is so much of it! It is too much temptation! A delicious recipe. It was very good and reasonably easy to make. I would suggest that an alternative way to know when the frosting is right would be nice. I had to guess at 160 deg as my candy thermometer went belly up and didn't work.

Low fat buttermilk has little fat. Full fat buttermilk does. It depends on which one you buy.

Just a comment. Buttermilk has little or no fat.

low fat....are you kidding me. with 2 cups of buttermilk and 1 1/2 cups sugar. When it comes to desserts...there is no such thing as low fat. It's the sugar, flour and buttermilk that makes it fattening.
