Recipe Introduction

This is VERY RICH. The frosting goes through the cake and ends up on the bottom of the pan, that's why the cake has the flavor it does. Cut the pieces and scoop the frosting off the bottom or turn the pan upside down on a board.Recipe Link: http://www.copykat.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=005571
