Very good cake. I didnt think it was done so I cooked it a little more than it said. Turns out the sauce is supposed to be runny. Will definitely make again!! Read More

When I read Leazer's review "No Flavor But Sweet" - I was confused. But then I made it and tasted it...Now it all makes sense. Weird texture flavor is just "hot sugar" not "hot fudge". (I even cut the white sugar to 1/2 cup) I'd say if you want something in this vein make some of your favorite brownies and coat those with hot fudge sauce. Read More

WOW. I made this tonight for dessert and my family loved it. It's low fat and I even took the oil out and used some orange juice instead. I also used skim milk and lite brown sugar. We loved it. I would 100% recommend to anyone. (Of course it's even better topped with some fat-free ice cream.....) Read More

I made this to go with our homemade ice cream on the 4th. The only problem is that the number of servings are way understated. I think we were lucky if we got 8 servings & they were small! It is very easy and rich. The kids all loved the pudding sauce. Read More

This is one of our favorite desserts - we serve it with vanilla ice cream and chopped pecans on the side (not everyone in my house loves pecans as much as I do so I don't bake them in it). Also I mix the flour mixture in the 9 X 9" pan so there aren't as many dishes to clean. Yum yum! Read More

This is a fantastic and adaptable recipe! I added 1/2 cup walnuts to the dry ingredients to add a "chewy" texture and a combination of vanilla cherry and almond essenses because I love them so:D Oh be sure to let it sit to cool a little before eating - the sauce is literally boiling hot! Read More

This cake was very easy to make. It was a little difficult to get out of the pan. You have to cut and then flip it over onto the serving dish. It is very very rich. It made my teeth hurt it was so sweet! Read More
