I don't think I will make this recipe again. I followed the instructions but, it took an hour to bake. It tasted ok, but not great.

Used frozen fruit, fresh to expensive. Couldn't find just blueberries and raspberries so used 2 cups blueberries, raspberries and blackberries with 1 cup strawberries. Came out great! Very easy to make. Next time I make it I will double the nuts. However, excellent the way it is!

This came out GREAT. I used all frozen fruits but measured them exactly 1 cup each and made the cake as mentioned in the recipe not the one on the back of the box and this came out delicious. The top was not running like I thought it would be and it was just the right amount of sweetness to tart.

My family loves this recipe. A few changes I've made to the recipe are: pecans vs. walnuts due to allergy, Splenda vs. sugar for less calories, I use the frozen berries at Costco instead of fresh fruit, and add a dollop of whipped cream on top. A very refreshing and delicious dessert.

To add to my review, I followed the updated recipe but omitted the marshmallows.

This was a real hit with my card club. No platter big enough, so covered a jelly roll pan with foil.

Due to some of the comments here about the long bake time and excessive sweetness, we have reviewed and retested this recipe. We have reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup and folded the marshmallows into the cake batter instead of adding them with the fruit. This allows the cake to bake in 35-40 minutes. We also switched from a baking dish (glass) to a baking pan (aluminum) and greased the pan well for ease when inverting it.
