This was pretty good overall. It was soo easy and came out of the oven slightly gooey, just as I had hoped. My kids enjoyed it, and I guess I did too. But although the flavor was tasty, it was kind of plain. Maybe next time I'll add a scoop of chocolate ice cream to jazz it up.

Some versions of this cake call for an extra 1/2 cup of melted butter in the filling, which makes the cake taste greasy. I have used this recipe for years and love it. I suggest adding some vanilla or almond extract to the cake base and the filling. Sometimes the timing is tricky to get the filling to set just enough to be slightly gooey, yet have a crust that is not too brown or dry. Has anyone tried this recipe with 2 eggs in the cake--how did it compare to this recipe?

This is just a great recipe, regardless of the sweetness it is excellent. Everything in moderation right? It is also nice with a few pecans chopped in. Loved this recipe for many years but all my life we call it chess cake???

This was excellent. I tried it according to the original recipe and with one change ( I added a carmel sauce between layers) and I thought that both were excellent. Everyone loved this one!!

I made this dessert three times in two days, so that should say just how much of a hit it was. The first day, I cooked it as directed and it came out much "gooier". The second day, I let it cook longer than the listed time, and it firmed a bit more. I think I liked it better firmer. I did make two changes to the recipe. I added a pinch of lemon extract(very very minute amount) and I also mixed in chopped pecans into the cake batter mixture. This is by far my favorite "cake" dessert ever!! It is going into my recipe binder for sure!
