I love to bake, but this recipe did not turn out good for me at all!! I ended up having to bake it longer and longer. The cake ended up dry. I don't recommend the recipe unless you use half of a cake mix.

It was "delish" and it also helped me with my science fair because i did a science fair based on cheesecakes and i did a survey and more than 110 percent loved your famous Boston Cream Cheesecake.

The downfall to this potentially great recipe is the wording of the ingredients "1 pkg of yellow cake mix (one layer size)". One layer size is vague, especially when the recipe states to prepare the cake mix as directed on the box and then instructs you to pour the mixture in a 9" springfoam pan? After experiencing the results of these instructions, I can clearly see that you need to use only half of the cake batter, not the whole amount. This was the reason for the cake not baking through, and the cheesecake mixture wasn't able to be spread over the cake because it sank in the middle like quick sand..most of the cake came out raw and watery. Don't be discouraged though, try it again by using half the cake batter and I'm sure it will turn out delicious and beautiful! I will try the recipe again, with the adjustments I've mentioned, and will submit another comment, hopefully my rating will be higher next time around.

Is this recipe from you Diane or from PILCookbooks.com -- I just purchased this Holiday Dessert book (edition 2012)and discovered this exact recipe. Except the photo. My cake was not moist so I added 1 extra egg and 1 pkg of pudding. I don't care for the type of chocolate in the recipe.

I made this for Easter and wish to say that it is quite tasty for what it is. I wouldn't call it a cheesecake, simply because there is so much cake (I also can't stress enough using only half of the yellow cake mix if you use a premade mix), but made as is it is an excellent dessert. I may try this by pouring only a bit of cake mix at the bottom (essentially using it as a crust) and then preparing per the instructions.
