"Very Good! I bake most of my cakes/deserts from scratch so was leary about this recipe, but I am pleasantly surprised - it is very good and I will make this again. Very Moist and with the cream cheese frosting - just heavenly! I have 3 young boys and they love it too :) Best part that is was easy, quick and no mess - Thank you!!"
