The rating is for the sausy stuff. It was great, considering it is mostly butter and such, I was dissapointed that most of the ingredients were topping and not the cake itself. Next time I will be making it with a cake from scratch. otherwise it was good

Filling was a little tricky. The chocolate sauce topping is a keeper...we love it as sauce over cake as well as a hot fudge topping for ice cream! Delicious!

Wow! LOVE this cake!! I thought there was a perfect amount of filling for nice thick layers between the cakes. I did add a little extra vanilla in the filling. Thank you so much for sharing this one!!

We really liked this recipe at our house, the only thing I think I would do differently is maybe half the filling recipe.....it was a little too much but the flavor and texture of this cake were great

Awesome cake recipe. I followed the recipe as written. I baked the cake for my daughter Ella's fifth birthday. I did let the cake come to room temperature before serving to let the glaze and filling soften a bit. Everyone had 2 slices, even my "I'm not a chocolate guy", brother.

I have made this cake for company and showers many times. I love how impressive it looks with relatively little effort. Just follow Joyce's directions, and you will have the best chocolate cake you've ever had.

I'm really sorry to give this two stars. The filling was not tasty. I think next time I'm craving a layered fudge cake I'm going to just make a chocolate cake with my own frosting recipe. I'm still looking for a good filling to put inside.

Wow considering that I didn't have any butter when I made this and had to use all margarine, this turned out fantastic! When I made the filling i knew the margarine would never form peaks so i didn't even bother for the flour/milk mixture to cool properly..It didn't even matter. I got it on there and my family said it was one of the best cakes they have ever had. The chocolate frosting was very good, and really added a lot to it. I didn't have enough cocoa powder so I just stuck in a square of semisweetened chocolate and it still turned out fine. This recipe is definitely a keeper!!!

This cake is not only great tasting, it is great looking. Everyone loves this cake. Just be careful you don't cook the frosting too long because last time it did not cascade down like the cake like it was supposed to. But it still tasted great. Thanks
