    Have you baked this? It sounds like something I had years ago with unfortunate results. As soon as I saw the can of soup, I winced from the memory.

    The one I had tasted like moist chocolate cake, streaked with an acidic slime. A batch of us were guinea pigs for a friend's mom, and almost immediately afterwards, it all of it came back up. Everyone scattered to bathrooms and bushes. Nasty stuff!

    That is why I asked whether she had tried the recipe. I remember it as sickening, and would not wish it on anyone. YUCK!!!
