OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. My tummy is groaning. I couldn't finish one piece - saved half for tomorrow or maybe Monday. Living in Tastykake land, Hostess cakes were hard come by so I never had the opportunity to taste them. I can't imagine anything quite this sweet. I followed the recipe to the letter - turned out fine but overwhelming. I do love chocolate but I think you should reconsider the quantities for the filling and icing. I believe I could have done 2- 9" x 13" cakes with the amount the recipe made. Well, Ann, the 9" x 13" cake itself was quite thin, only a bit over an inch high, as I recall - not sure I would have been able to successfully split it in half if it was any thinner. Are you sure you were baking in a full-sized 9" x 13" pan? You can certainly cut back on the filling and icing, which are the richer parts... PJH
