I think someone at Betty Crocker needs to fix the directions on this recipe so the filling is added sooner. Probably should read put a third of cake batter in, spoon filling over batter then add rest of batter. I followed the directions as written and my "filling" is the bottom of the cake.

This cake came out really gorgeous, except my mint glaze was too thin. I wish it had been thicker (should have just put in more powdered sugar). I added a LOT more mint and green food coloring. If you go by the instructions, you'll be disappointed. I added at least 3 more drops each time than they suggested. I also used a different brand's cake mix and because of the added butter, it still came out ridiculously moist. Seriously, this is a great cake. It's time-consuming, so don't just think it will be a quick little project. It's SO worth it. I brought it to work and it was gone within a day.

It was not as flavorful as I had hoped. The recipe was not bad but with all the other options out there I probably would not make this again.

I substituted a sugar-free cake mix and worked great. However, it was difficult to get the glaze to look like the picture. Next time I would make my favorite simple white glaze and add peppermint and green food coloring. Make a chocolate glaze and try those instead. The choc chip/shortening combo was too difficult to work with. Also if you follow the directions, the filling doesn't look like the photo. Next time I'll try putting the filling in the middle as per earlier reviews. Yummy taste, though!

I made this for Christmas in a wreath cake pan and it was delicious. The filling kind of swirled through the middle and was great. I garnished it with cherries.

I'm making this for Valentine's Day dessert, but substituting Cherry extract for the mint, and red food coloring instead of green. Just saw the reviews after popping it in the oven...I was wondering about the filling....hopefully it turns out well, otherwise I'm redoing it with the 1/2 batter-filling-1/2 batter method. Thanks!!

I am a 35 year old refinery worker in southern Louisiana. I never cook anything. I made this cake for my wife's birthday on November 19, 2011 and everyone loved it. They all requested that I make it again the following week for Thanksgiving desert. I followed the directions and it was really simple. What I did was poured half of the cake mix into the pan and made a little channel in the middle with a spatula. I used a decorating bag to squirt the filling into the channel then covered it with the second half of the cake mix. it came out just like the picture. The other thing I did on the second cake was I used only 2 teaspoons of water in the glaze to make it a little thicker. I plan on trying other recipes in the future because this was pretty fun. My wife laughed at me and called me Mr. Betty Crocker, but she sure didn't stop eating my cake.

This cake was really easy to make. Of course it didn't look like the picture, but it tasted great, was still nice and moist and the family agreed. I too liked the idea of pouring part of the cake mix, then the filling and then the rest of the cake mix. I also put the filling in a small bag and piped it in. What I got was a thin U shaped line of green throughout the cake. My mint topping (I skipped the chocolate topping) dissapeared into the cake. As long as you don't show anybody what it should look like, they will think it's a work of art :)

This cake was delicious! However, next time I would leave out the chocolate on the glaze, it really seemed to be too much.
