I agree with wife2abadge that the filling is kinda tasteless. Without the filling, this is just a cake mix cake with canned frosting. So what's special about that?

    This was good, but I don't think I'd make it again. The filling was kind of tasteless. I made homemade frosting using Hershey Special Dark Cocoa (use the recipe on the can).

    i love making a version of this in a jelly roll pan. I divide up the cake in quarters. i then spread the cream filling in between three layers. Top it off with the final quarter, and frost. I have also, tried this using orange and banana cakes. They were wonderful. Everyone at work and home raves about the cake. Thank-you

    YUMMY!!!! I love the filling in this. And I think that by making 4 layers you get more of the flavor of the cake the way it's supposed to be. It was easy to make. Try this!!
