I loved this filling/frosting for a boxed dark chocolate cake that I made. I substituted 1/3 cup Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for the brown sugar, and it tasted great.

Great frosting recipe! Whole family loved it. I used the "dark chocolate cake 1" recipe on the AR site and it made the cake even better. A bit more effort to not use a boxed cake mix but so worth it. Even better the next day. Thanks for sharing!

This is good for a simple cake mix. The icing is what makes the dessert. I am not a baker nor a cake eater, but it turned out good for my wife's family who loves dessert.

This was very good--made it for Easter and everyone loved it. The icing is a nice change from the normal icing I make. I did sub cool whip for the whipping cream and it was fine--I used about a half of a container.

This is simply delicious! So easy to make and looks beautiful. Others have said not enough filling but I felt it was the perfect amount! I have tried other torte recipes and I finally figured out an easy way to split the layers...I used a wooden spoon laying behind the cake and rested the knife edge on it then as I cut I "spun" the cake and it was a perfect cut!

This was an amazing recipe! I doubled the amount of icing and used it with the "Dark Chocolate Cake I" recipe off this site and it looked really yummy! Although, the finished product I have not tasted since I sent it off with a friend for a party! The icing was delicious and I would absolutely recommend using fruit in the layers. I sliced up strawberries for the top and then grated chocolate on top! Yummy! I hope some comes back for me to try (I just didn't think it would look good if there was a slice missing!=)

Used the Dark Chocolate Cake I recipe. The icing is really good, but I like my cakes to have more depth. So I played around with using coffee in the cake recipe to make a mocha cake, added chopped hazelnuts to the side, and topped with shaved chocolate.

I made this cake for my husband's birthday and he loved it. This was my first attempt at homemade cake and I think I did pretty good. Like another reviewer for the cake portion I used the recipe for Dark Chocolate Cake I by Carol. Next time I will double the filling, I did not have enough and ended up making whipped cream for part of inside layer. The filling is the best!

This is wonderful! I made it for my mom's birthday, and everyone loved it. I did make a couple of changes. I am not a fan of dark chocolate, so I used a Devil's Food cake mix. I also doubled the filling.(I ended up using most of it)On each layer I sprinkled Heath toffee bits. I would also recommend purchasing a Wilton cake slicer. It is inexpensive, and a huge help in making the layers perfect! ...Also, I was only able to refrigerate for three hours.

Nice light cake but I'm looking for something with stronger flavor, especially in the cream filling. This was a little flat for me.

Very delicious! This is cake that you don't want to serve with ice cream. The cream cheese frosting is better by itself.

I'm surprised any of the frosting made it onto the cake - it was so good I found myself eating it before even frosting the cake!!! I took this to work, and it was a hit. Very tasty, and very pretty.

A solid, pleases everyone chocolate cake with yummy frosting. Not something I would make to impress company with my baking prowess, but it DID get devoured. MAKE 1 AND 1/2 THE FROSTING (doubling it, as suggested below, is waaay too much - and i love frosting. 1.5 is just right!)

That was the major complaint. I was embarassed to make such a dessert that no one liked! I will not make it again. I was not impressed!

Perfect. i didn't actually make the four layers, as said to do, but i did make a two layer cake, and found that since there weren't as many layers to "fill", the icing didn't go on as skimpily, and there was actually enough icing to cover the exterior of the cake using the original recipe. i also used walnuts in between layers and on top instead of chocolate shavings. i brought this cake to the thanksgiving potluck at my school and it was one of the first desserts finished. :)
