has anyone tried this recipe?  It sounds like it would be a very dense, heavy cake but also sounds good--

 I want to try it, but I do not want to waste all these ingredients, either.  Also, seems like alot of sugar--sugar in the cake mix, the granulated and brown sugar, the sweetness of the coffee creamer and the caramel ice-cream topping.  I can imagine my cake falling.  Would love some comments on this--Thanks

Seems like an awful lot of fat for a white cake mix to support...butter, oil, sour cream, and cream cheese.  I'm interested in seeing others' reviews as well.

It would be really nice to see a 'scratch' version of this recipe that uses basic ingredients - like flour & sugar, rather than packets of fake processed stuff that probably contain trans fats and weird scary chemicals.   In Australia we don't call our box cake mixes 'white' and we dont have 'pudding mix' let alone pistachio flavoured ones, nor can we buy coffee creamer.  So, I cannot make this recipe, even tho I want too, because the title sounds soooo delicious.

Anyone find the full recipe and have made this cake. What do u do with the last couple of ingredients?? Is this cake dense enough for a wedding cake??  I want to fill it with raspberry purée. Any help ?? Thanks
