I made the cake only for my daughter's confirmation. It was lovely with my white decorator's icing. I thought the cake was a little bit dry. I may have overbaked it just slightly, maybe five minutes less in the oven. It wasn't overly sweet with just a slight chocolate flavor. I'll definitely use this cake again. I want to try it as a cake roll with the frosting recipe included next time.

WONDERFUL! The only thing I did different was used dried Italian seasoning as I didn't have any fresh basil. My husband loved it, thought it tasted like something he could have gotten in a restaurant in Europe when he was stationed there. A definite keeper just as it is.

Made it as the recipe called for, except I couldn't find gorgonzolla cheese so used feta and used fat free chicken broth. It was WONDERFUL! My husband loved it! We'll make this again. One tip, keep a close eye on the orzo. I turned my back on it for a couple of minutes and almost burned it!
