This cake was really easy, and tasted great! I ended up halfing the recipe, and it turned out just perfectly even though I eyeballed most of the measurments. There is a reason why this is called a dessert, and it is because it is supposed to be eaten in moderation. People who say that cooking with butter and cream cheese is irresponsible need to realize that oftentimes processed restaurant foods are just as bad, except they don't often let their customers know what they put in their food. If you have a problem limiting yourself to eating rich desserts in moderation, just don't make it.

I have made many of these cakes over the years and you do not need the second stick of butter. For those of you who did not like it try it without the second stick of butter. I have made it both ways and without 2nd butter is better.You already have enough fat from the cream cheese.

I have to say I get annoyed with people who look at ingredients, make the recipe, then trash the recipe, and the writer of the recipe! If you're as experienced a cook as stated, (and you know who you are, then you'd know how something will turn out, whether it will be figure friendly or totally sinful. I found this cake absolutely heavenly, and delicious, as did my family. I told them the ingredients, and let them make the decision whether to eat it or give it a pass. I don't know why some had trouble with the way it turned out, mine was perfect. No it is not a cake that will be made once a week, or even once a month, but for a once in a while treat it is perfect. Paula Deen is not my doctor, she says that often on her show, but her recipies are the bomb! Thank you Paula, I love you and your show/s

I can't imagine what I did wrong. I am an experienced cook and needed a quick dessert so I thought I'd try this. I followed the recipe exactly and when I checked it after the minimum baking time, it had browned a bit on the edges but seemed too loose in the middle so I left it for 5 minutes longer. It ended up being really hard on the top so that when I cut through it, it crumbled, but beneath the crust it was runny, not cooked at all. Any ideas what I did wrong?

This recipe was just ok for me. My family and I all ate and finished one serving but didnt like it enough to eat any more so the rest of it sat on the counter and then went in the trash. I would not make it again.

To the person who didn't sign their name (and I can see why they wouldnt who reviewed this recipe in 11/2008: Why on earth would someone go to a recipe, read it, make it and then complain that it's not good for you??? It's not your place to tell Paula or anyone else what they should or shouldn't be eating! Grow up! If you want to eat 'health food' go to a different site for your recipes, but don't presume to tell others how to live their lives because of what YOU percieve to be to be an unhealthy recipe!!!!! Paula has built her career on SOUTHERN cooking- if you don't like it, don't make it!

I read all the reviews and I am seasoned baker. Mine browned on top but never firmed up after the required cooking time. I was afraid to cook longer as the top would be to brown. They were very gooey to the point of to messy to eat. Something was not right, there must be a trick to getting these to set up. You really have to love sweet as these are over the top. Even as a small bite dessert they are a bit to much for me. I ended up having to make a different dessert in the end and this got thrown out.

This cake is absolutely delicious! I prefer to use the chocolate toffee bits instead of the regular toffee but both are fantastic. It's really not hard at all to make, especially considering the results! It is a great finger food.

A couple of words of warning: 1 If you show up at a party with this dessert, you had better take a copy of the recipe along with you. I usually take multiple copies just to save myself some trouble. 2 Resist the temptation to eat it while it is hot. As it cools, the gooey part kicks in.

One of my favorite desserts to take or have for parties. However, I love the turnout when made with a box of pound cake mix (16-17 oz. box instead of yellow cake mix. I also, substitue 2 eggs with the pound cake and 1 stick of butter (total of 4 eggs in the entire recipe, then omit the extra butter in the top layer. Turns out Wonderful without the extra butter in the top layer. It's a must try! A cup of chopped pecans on top instead of toffee is also great! It's turns out more like a sinful, gooey coffee cake/bar.
