oops! accidentally submitted my review before I finished writing it. It's an excellent recipe - using white whole wheat flour works better - has a lighter, milder flavor. I used King Arthur organic white whole wheat. Very tasty!!!

8/30/2010 04:20:40 PM Report AbuseI was servedt his without knowing what was in it--and it was dynamite! Now that I know what is in it, I'm making it again today. My daughter (4yo) asked for 2nds and would have had 3rds if we'd let her! I know some of the critics cite the whipped topping and sugar as problematic, but I am grateful for the the things that are not in it and do not believe that cutting any food out entirely is a reasonable option for most people. That's just my humble opinion--I love the recipe!
7/19/2010 10:37:40 AM Report AbuseThis is the most decadent chocolate cake I've ever baked and I still can't believe it contains no white flour, butter, or milk! I didn't make the blueberry topping but with the scruptious taste of the cake, frosting, and fresh blueberries on top, I didn't miss it at all. Everyone in my family loved it, and I cannot wait for another occassion to make it again. I also took a picture of my finished cake side-by-side with the picture in the magazine. I wish I could post it here! Thank you Dorothy!
6/12/2010 01:28:06 PM Report AbuseGreat recipe!! I made the cake base (in a real terracotta flower pot) then carved a "garden" of fruit flowers (melons, kiwi, strawberries) etc. to put on top. This was my 6 year old's bday cake, which all her kindergarten classmates ate voraciously. It made me feel good not to give them a healthier alternative to pure white flour/sugar concoctions. BTW, frozen wild blueberries worked a charm...
