I used two round pans for this recipe, and put the icing between the layers. The cocoa could definitely be tasted in the recipe (a bit bitter), but the cake is extremely moist. I used my own gob icing recipe and this really did taste like a large gob. Good recipe.

LOVE this recipe! I made it twice and both times I read the recipe wrong! I melted the butter and mixed it with the cinnamon and sugar. The first time it melted out of the ends a bit. The second time I divided the dough in thirds, THEN filled it and rolled it. I used regular flour the first time and bread flour the second. I think I like the texture of the bread flour over the regular but it is delicious either way.

Recipe used all the ingredients I had and turned out very good. I took others suggestions and increased the amount of milk to 3/4 cup and sugar to 2/3 cup. I added tossed sweet cherries under the topping which definitely helped add flavor. I thought the baking temp was high and had to decrease to 350 and bake longer.
