For me, the almond extract MAKES the cake. I followed the instructions exactly (especially the part that says let cake cool for 20 min) and it turned out perfect. I left the icing to sit for about 5 min after boiling and poured it over – perfect!! Made this few times, and people dig it…

I did not have success with this cake. The cake tested done when I removed it from the oven but once the icing was put on it must have changed the cake. When I served it several hours later it seemed underbaked and was not tasty at all.

I have made this cake twice now but I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to get the frosting on top without it completely soaking into the cake. I really love the flavor of the cake part but I’m so disappointed that when I add the frosting it turns into complete mush! The frosting was still watery after adding all the powdered sugar and the directions say to pour it on immediately when the cake is out of the oven. I did that, so I’m not sure how this is supposed to work. Please help me figure out what I did wrong, Thank you!

This is not a true sheet cake since it’s made in a 9×13 pan but there is easily enough batter to use in a 15×10 pan and make it that way.
I made this last night. I don’t keep all purpose flour on hand so I subbed in self rising flour and omitted the salt and baking powder. This cake didn’t turn out like I expected. I will make it again but will use all purpose flour although I’ve never had a problem substituting it before. I also think it will turn out better to use a cup of milk instead of water.
I also halved the icing based on another review. I’m glad I did. Half was the perfect amount.
I’ll bake another one in a couple weeks and will update my review.

This recipe is not correct… did not turn out like the picture what so ever! The cake was waaaay too wet and basically collapsed when the icing was poured on… wasted a lot of $, time and effort… DO NOT ATTEMPT!!

I think I see whats wrong. The directions for the frosting are different on her website than on this web page. On her site, it says to bring the ingredients to a boil. On here, it just says combine and take off heat. I think if I had boiled it it would have gotten thicker. Oh well, now I just have molten lava cake lol

I do not see MILK in the cake ingredients but it talks about in the instructions. Something is not right. Please clarify.

I want to make your recipe and saw sweetened coca powder for the frosting. I only have unsweetened, can I just add more sugar or what type of coca do you mean, the drinking kinda like cadbury or nesquik?
