Made today and will make again. Only I goofed and bought Sweetened Condensed Milk instead of Evap. Milk for the frosting. So I added 1/3 cup and omitted all the sugar from the frosting. Perfect, in my opinion...not too sweet but just enough. This def. goes great with vanilla ice cream. Eat warm!

I made this for the first time yesterday and it was a HUGE hit. I made the recipe exactly as directed. I served it warm with vanilla ice cream and it was just wonderful.
It's an easy dessert to prepare and will WOW everyone!

Although you can feel your arteries clogging with each bite, this cake is divine!
For the icing, I used 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 TBL of butter instead of 1/2 a stick.
I used to make hot fudge for sundaes with just choc chips and evap milk and it was perfect so I may leave out all the sugar and butter next time for the icing. Either way, I will definitely be making this again.

O M G!!!! W O W! This was absolutely heavenly!!!! Super, super easy to make and taste just oh sooooo gooood!!! This is exactly what i was looking for! I had been craving for a warm, soft, gooey, chocolaty cake and this was perfect!!! It really isn't too sweet if you do what others suggested and just cut back on the sugar for the frosting to 3/4 cup instead of the full 1 cup. I would have left it at 1 full cup but my husband doesn't like his dessert as sweet as mine, so i reduced it just to make sure he would enjoy it....and he did! My little girls seemed like they just inhaled the thing!!! It is soooo soft, and yummy i really can't say enough! Thank you Paula for sharing this wonderful recipe that i will FOR SURE keep making for my family and friends!

I have made this cake several times each time to rave reviews.Tonight I served it for a meeting. As soon as I say it's a Paula Deen recipe, the first comment is
how much butter is in it? There is never any left. Another fabulous recipe. Every recipe I have made of hers is easy to follow and delicious. I didn't have any trouble with the icing. Perfect! This is a great comfort food recipe. I can only imagine how great the food is at her restaurant.

Great cake! My daughter and I watched Paula's show this morning when we were waking up. My daughter Grace loves Paula's "Y'all" among other things. So she said she wanted to bake today. Well, we did and we made it from watching it from memory and I missed the cup of sugar in the cake (found recipe on FN after it went into the oven. Cake was actually fine without the sugar though next time I would add at least 1/4 cup for the texture and better creaming. Would definitely cut sugar in half on the frosting.

And if anyone out there loves chocolate covered cherries...chop up around 1/2-3/4 cup sour dried cherries and add those to the frosting instead of the nuts. A small dollop of Vanilla Bean ice cream on a warm piece of this would make it all of Ben and Gerry's Cherry Garcia for me! With or without ice cream or vanilla sauce this cake is yum, yum and great fun to make with a 3 year old. Thanks Paula and Sybil.

I made this cake earlier this morning. I looked at the reviews before making it and it seemed to be a common problem with the crystallization in the frosting. So I took some advise and I cut the sugar down from recommended 3/4 cup to 1/2 cup. The frosting turned out beautifully and smooth. The cake is just sweet enough and the frosting was outstanding. Yex, I would certainly make it again!

Perfect for desert after Sunday's dinner. I made this for the first time. It was easy to assemble and I noticed the comments on the various time to cook. Mine took 30 minutes, I know this is because oven temps very. It was very moist and the icing is great as the topper. I noticed at one point it did feel and taste crystallized, how I made that disappear is I cook it a minute longer and I only used a little over 1/2 cup of the sugar. I have been to Savannah several times and when I am there I always stop in the Lady and Sons for the buffet and it is always delicious. Any one out there, if you happen to be down that way, make a stop. It is well worth a visit in person. The food and the atmosphere and the hospitality is incredible. We don't get service and friendliness up here in the north.

This cake is amazing! I doubled the recipe and made enough for work and my family...well, only about half made it to work, the ganache is perfect, like some others said, I left out about 1/4 of the sugar, so tasty!!!
