    Made this on Saturday and it will probably be gone by Wednesday-my family loves this cake. I even had to substitute margarine for one of the sticks of butter and it still came out tasting great. Definitely a recipe I'll be making again.

    i found that if you don't bake it the suggested length of time the inside is not quite done even though the tooth pick came out clean and it is hard to remove from the pan. the next time i will bake it the suggested times. it was delicious however.
