My mom makes a version of this cake. I love it because I almost always have all the ingredients on hand. I mixed the dry ingredients together, then added all the liquids and mixed. Then I poured it into a greased pan. I baked it for a little longer than the recipe suggests, maybe an extra 10 or 15 minutes. It turned out chocolatey and substantial--not airy. Next time I'll cut the sugar, maybe as much as by half. Very, very good recipe!

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars on account of its easiness and taste. The sauce was very thick and hearty. I followed the recipe except... 1. I used whole-wheat rotini pasta (it was all I had) 2. I heated the sauce and melted the Velveeta into it. I was a little worried about big chunks of Velveeta, which probably wouldn't taste good. 3. I added some garlic and onion to the beef as it was browning. 4. I mixed all the components together and baked in an 8x8 pan (instead of layering it in a larger pan). Next time I might try ground turkey and adding some veggies.

Not the best icing....Seemed "plastic-y" and had a funky flavor.
