I found this recipe a few years ago in a magazine. It's become a family staple. It's super easy and looks SO impressive. We usually use strawberries. It does work better to make this at least a few hours or the night before serving. Chilling in the fridge helps to keep it set up. Otherwise, it falls over easily once you start cutting pieces of cake.

Unbelieveably delicious. I brought it to a dinner party and people were in shock that 1. I made it. 2. It looked awesome. 3. It tasted THAT good. I was really strapped for time and was amazed that I could do it in the 55 minutes it suggests.

Easy to follow directions. It takes a while to make, however, the end result is defintely worth it. *I added some raspberry jam to the bottom 3 layers.

This recipe is so great! The dinner party was amazed. I made the cakes in little four inch round pans, and they were so cute and looked so gourmet!

Oh my God! I made this? Absolutely everything about this cake is wonderful; taste, presentation, easy to prepare. The recipe calls for finely chopped pecans and I tend to think that bigger pieces are usually better than small ones, like in banana bread, but it really is best to finely chop the pecans in this recipe; bigger pieces are not as pleasant to eat in a cake. I used 8" pans so my cakes were a bit thicker than with a 9" pan. Because of this, I made a 3 layer cake and used what would have been the 4th layer to make mini cakes for my husband and I; I cut out rouds with a cookie cutter and made mini 2 layer cakes. YUM! I will certainly be making this again. Thanks for this terrific recipe!

Yummy! But mostly it LOOKED pretty & summery--and easy to make! I took it to a family birthday gathering & made the cake ahead of time. I forgot the raspberries so I substituted cherries on top only. Pretty, but I think raspberries would be more delicious! The whipped filling/topping was so tasty!! I will be making again and following the recipe to a T! Thanks for an easy but fancy looking cake!
