Good but could be better
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

If you substitute the filling (butter, eggs and powdered sugar) with a filling of 2 packages of instant vanilla pudding, I... think the people that thought it was too sweet will like it better. When you serve, drizzle some hot fudge sauce over each slice.Read more

Way too sweet
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I love desserts but this was just way way too sweet. The filling is just too much. We ended up throwing the whole thing... away!Read more

Very good but very sweet!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought it was delicious. But I just though it was too sweet. I could have done with about half the confectioner's sugar.... It was a hit though!Read more

Cool Whip!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I've never made this cake myself im just reading the comments, deciding wether or not its worth making? I would like to reply... to Mariza, about the whip cream. Its NOT spray cream, its COOL WHIP. Which, if you dont know what that is, is a whipped topping found in 1L tubs that look like margarine tubs (but a bit taller). Hope this helps!Read more

Easier than I thought!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'm glad I took the time to read most of the reviews. The most helpful tips was 1) CUT BACK ON THE SUGAR_ 2 cups of sugar is... perfect. 2) 2 cups of crumbs NOT 4 and third soak the nanana slices in the pineapple juice - otherwise they turn brown. i am confused with the whipped topping. I'm new to baking/cooking, and am not certain if I bought the right stuff? 1 can of whipped cream. It seems to melt fast. Does anyone know what I did wrong?Read more
