Great recipe. I made this the first time last May for my son's teachers. I didn't try it since it was a gift but they loved it. However, the icing seemed thin with lumps of butter. Apparently I didn't mix it long enough. So when I made it again I let it mix for about 2-3 minutes on medium speed and it turned out perfect. Thanks for the great recipe!

SOOOOO GOOD! I don't like nuts so I didn't add any and I didn't have marshmallow creme so I melted some marshmallows with peanut butter and used that. Great recipe!

Made this recipe exactly as stated, so good and easy! If I don't have nuts on had, I just substitute coconut. I think it's a little bit better with coconut :)

This cake is a sugar overload, but very addictive! You think you've had too much, but then you want more. The second time around, we put a layer of cookie dough on the bottom, then made the rest of the cake on top of that. AMAZING! You will need to adjust the cooking time, but it's out of this world good!

4.5 stars! But three things: 1) I forgot the nuts; 2) I made it the night before and served it cold -- which I loved; and 3) I was appalled by the amount of sugar in this recipe and had to reduce it somehow. I ended up cutting back the amount of powdered sugar in the recipe by a full cup (down to 2c), and it was perfect. I loved the ooey-gooeyness (sp?) of it.

I made this recipe as it is written and it was way too sweet for both my husband and I. The children ate it the first night but didn't ask for anymore.

This one was just okay for me. VERY rich, so if that's what you're looking for, it would be worth trying. It was just a little over the top for me. The cake, as others have said, was more like a brownie. I think I would have liked the topping better on more traditional chocolate cake. My kids loved it.

Dense, rich, and chocolaty! I especially love the fudge-y icing. I baked for 30 minutes and added marshmallows to the batter.
