I came across this recipe years ago and made a few changes. It’s very popular. My mom’s church group serves it for dessert quite regularly. —Kelly Kirby, Westville, Nova Scotia

Is the cake suppose to have all the fluid at the bottom of the pan when it is done? Maybe we cooked it too long? There was a distinct difference in the layers. We just expected the bottom to be more fudgy.

This wasn't as good as I had hoped. I served it with the whipped cream. The recipe was easy to follow and the house smelled great while it was baking. We had a piece the night I baked it. The rest sat on the counter and then went in the trash. Honestly it wasn't that the cake was nasty it just didn't get eaten by my family. I would guess if I had frosted it with buttercream it would have disappeared. We like it sweet. This cake was like a box gingerbread cake :(

Really, really good. It tastes like pumpkin bread, only more cake-y.

I healthified this recipe by using nonfat vanilla yogurt for all the butter, replacing the white sugar with Splenda, and using egg-whites in place of the egg... but even with these tweaks, it still tasted decadent and very yummy!

I'll definitely make this again! It'd be great on a cool fall night, with a pot of tea!

Very good! I didn't think it would turn out with so much water added. It was perfect
