This cake is absolutely incredible!!! Whether you make the entire cake recipe as written, or choose to make just the cake or just the icing, you will not be disappointed. This is definetly well worth the effort to make this dessert for a special occasion! A few tips when trying this one-- 1.- Allow yourself plenty of time for this recipe. It takes quite a while between preparing, baking, and waiting for the cakes to cool and the filling and icing to chill. 2.- Make sure you have whipped the filling very well before chilling. If you haven't whipped the whipping cream well enough, the cake layers will slip and slide when you try to frost the cake. 3.- Don't spread the whipped cream filling all the way to the outter edge of the cake layers. When you're frosting the cake, the pressure will spread the filling a bit and the filling will come out the sides of the cake if you've spread it too close to the edge. All in all, this recipe is definetly a keeper and well worth the time it took to prepare. I know I will never buy store bought chocolate frosting or cake mix after trying this recipe!

As a new vegetarian, I am experimenting with lots of new recipes- this is definetly one of my favorites! I made this for dinner for myself on a whole grain sandwich round while the rest of the clan ate their burgers. This was incredible! I will make them again and again! I did not change the recipe one bit- it's perfect just as is!

This is the BEST chocolate chip cookie I have ever tasted! Definetly chocolate chip cookie perfection-- throw away any other recipe you have! These are the perfect combination of crispy edges and chewy chocolatey centers, and they're HUGE! Beware-- you may want to double the batch, you only get 18 of these delicious treats based on the recipe! (I actually only yielded 15 cookies, and followed the recipe exactly measuring the quarter cup drop cookies.) I left my cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before moving them to the cooling racks--- any sooner, and I think I would've lost half of the cookie during the move. Thank you for this recipe! I will make it again and again!
