Loved the cake! Was not crazy about the filling , the taste was okay but the consistency and the mouth feel bothered! The shortening just did not work for me. I will make it again but substitute cream cheese for the shortening!. The secret to the filling is to beat it the full 10 minutes as stated in directions.
cake is moist and has a good texture and taste. We liked the filling, never have any leftover...
This was really good, because of the reviews and the fact that the filling seemed like too much effort for me I opted to use my homemade cream cheese frosting instead. This cake is very delicate so be sure to use the wax paper as instructed or you'll end up with a pile of cake crumbs. I didn't like this cake when it was chilled in the fridge so I just heat up leftovers in the microwave for a few seconds. This will be going into the recipe box.

I used homemade buttercream filling.
<p>I made this recipe a couple days ago and it was great! I only thing I did not like was the filling. My family and I found it bland and tasteless- it did not have much flavor and it had a strange consistency. Next time I make this, I will make sure to use a different filling. Maybe try a cream cheese type icing. The cake was great though. I left out the pecans too. All in all, this recipe is great but keep it mind the filling is very different.</p>
Made this as a cake for my mom's b-day, she works at an assisted living facility, she shared her cake with several of the elderly women having a social. Everyone was pleased with it~ Mom was happy!
I have made this recipe several times and each time every one loves it and asks for the recipe.
Made this for a family gathering...I became very famous...Thanks Taste of Home for Fabulous recipes!!!
Have made this a few times for my family and they all loved it. The only problem is that one cake is not enough and I need to make two.
