  1. gourmande REVIEW:

    This recipe is fantastic! The recipe was easy to follow and prepare. The cake cooked to perfection and had a light, smooth, moist texture. I used real white chocolate instead of the morsels. Watch the cake tester and try it in two or three different places before removing from oven. I had to bake an extra 5-6 mins. My kids said it was the best birthday cake they had ever tasted, and we have some awesome recipes in our collection. Definitely recommend this one!
