     People rave about this recipe! Since I've moved overseas and cannot use cake mixes, this has become my stand-by for special occasions. - 1/28/11

     I made this recipe. I used ideal for the sugar and saved over 200 calories per serving. I saw on the Hershey's site that the calories where approx 570 calories per serving. Using Ideal sweetener in the cake make it 388 calories per serving in a cake that renders 12 servings. Very good cake. - 3/28/10
