I liked the frosting for this cake but the cake itself was awfully crumbly and tasted odd. Maybe I am just not used to a chocolate jello cake.

This cake turned out fabulous! I made it for a dinner party, and everyone was impressed. It was very moist and melted in your mouth. My grocery store didn't have the whipped topping mix, so I used a tub of frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip(R)). I still mixed it with the chocolate pudding, and just added a bit of milk to help with the consistency. Also, I didn't need such a large cake for the small dinner party, so I split the cake into 1 one cake and 12 cupcakes.
