I thought it was wonderful and my husband, the cake lover, really loved it. We used a wooden spoon end to make the holes letting more caramel filling drizzle down through it (I think Paula did this on the show. Excellent. Some people don't know to adjust the time and heat when cooking in dark or glass pans. Maybe that should be mentioned in all cake recipes.

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Honestly, a waste of time & ingredients. I have been baking for 30 years and what a wreck this was. Fell apart when I attempted to frost it and no matter what I did, there was no saving it. I could tell the texture of the cake was unusual & once I completely gave up (because it was a pile of crumbs, I tasted it and it tastes like cornbread. I have never had a more negative experience making a cake and I'm not being dramatic! Very disappointed!

Has potential. The icing was very good but this recipe calls for too much of it and the cake was not close to being moist enough. Wish that I had read the ratings before I made the cake! lol

Granted, I live at 5,500 ft. elevation, so baking here can be a bit "different". I was skeptical of a cake recipe using self-rising flour, and was very disappointed in the cake, which did not rise in the centers -- would recommend using a box mix and proceeding with the filling and frosting, although those made for a cloyingly sweet dessert. My husband requested "a caramel cake" for his b'day. I spent the afternoon making what I had to categorize as "the ugliest cake I've ever made" (and I must say, I am an expert baker. Husband said, "When we first married, you'd have been crying over this, now (after 44 years you're laughing". Oh well, you certainly can't eat too much of it!

I would make this CAKE again but not the frosting - FAR too sweet and, like crazy_redhead below, mine turned out like gritty sludge. I didn't even bother to ice the cake with it, instead I filled it with whipped cream and dusted with icing sugar. A shame really as the cake itself turned out light and fluffy.

this cake did not set up properly. i've made it twice and both times there was a huge dip in the middle of the cake. the cake tastes pretty good but is a bit too sweet to eat more than a few bites. the frosting tastes good but comes out to a strange consistency. i would not make this again.
