I made this cake as one of our Thanksgiving desserts. I was supposed to take half of the cake to a family gathering but my parents and sister would not let me! They wanted it all to themselves. My sister has already asked me to make this cake for her birthday in January. I made it with the raspberry filling minus the raspberry liqueur and it was still great. If you don't like cream cheese frosting, you can make a simple heavy whipping cream frosting and it will taste just as yummy.
this was alot of fun to make and was very good - dont usually have good luck with homemade cakes--usually dry--but this was good
I am not a huges fan of chocolate cake, but I made this recipe and am absolutely in LOVE! I made the frosting with a little less cream cheese (because that is all I had 16 oz for just frosting) and with vanilla instead of lemon. I made a strawberry filling that was totally amazing! Thank you so much for this recipe! I will be making it again!
Made this cake over the weekend for someone's birthday. The cake was okay, but the icing recipe that was featured in the magazine with this cake was to cheesy. I would definately suggest that if you are going to make this cake you use a different icing than the one featured with it in the magazine article.
