The recipe is great! Everyone loved it and it makes a lot! I also added miniature chocolate chips sprinkled over the top. It was a hit. You can also put chocolate chips through out the batter. Delicious!

I took it to work the first time I made it and received rave reviews. Everyone loved it. It was light, delicate, and flavorful. The next time I make it, though, I will make only half of the frosting, as I had almost twice what I needed--for us anyway. The frosting came out delicious, but soft, for me (my fault???). But as it was refrigerated, it firmed up. I may try adding a little more powdered sugar, too, to see if I like it a little firmer.

I have been using this same recipe for several years and it's not only easy but delicious as well. It makes a large portion so it is great for potlucks or large family gatherings. I would (and do quite often) recommend this to anyone!
