I made this cake for Thanksgiving and high hopes for an awesome dessert as is turned out looking great. Unfortunately, when I cut a piece and took a bite it was honestly the driest cake I had ever eaten. Even with coffee it was too dry. The chocolate band turned out fine and the icing was okay but the pumpkin cake portion was inedible. After trying the cake, warned everyone else not to eat it and threw it away. I agree with the person below me...I just wasted 3 sticks of butter and 6 eggs. Such a disappointment.

This cake was delicious! I couldn't stop eating it. I skipped the truffle layer and added mini semisweet chocolate chips. I was a little concerned because the batter was super thick but I just forged ahead and it turned out awesome. It was a hit at the Halloween party!

Ok, so I can't really say how good the finished cake is, because I made it to donate to a cake auction. However, I did lick the spoon when I was done and it was quite tasty. My one criticism is that it says 2 hour and 45 minutes for the total time. I started this cake at 4pm and went into the oven around 5:30 and came out around 7. By the time it cooled off and I made the icing and drizzled it on there it was quarter to 9. So... 2:45 my eye, it took me 4 hours and 45 minutes. They need to re-estimate their time for real people, not for baking whizzes who make cakes all the time. The recipe was so confusing with all the ingredients and steps I had to keep reading the recipe to remember what I was doing with what ingredient. I give this three spoons because the batter tasted good but it was a serious pain in the you know what and took FOREVER.
