BEST. BAKED POTATO. EVER. I cut down the cooking time a bit by raising the oven temp to 400 and the two big potatoes I used took less than an hour, as a result. They ended up being by far the best part of the meal, and all we added was a bit of margarine. Next time I'll throw on some chives or even some caramelized onions, but honestly it doesn't need anything. So simple, but SO GOOD!

This recipe got such a great reaction from everyone who tried it--so much so that I had to make it TWICE in one weekend! I made it into 20 cupcakes was grateful for following reviewers' suggestions to double the cocoa powder because the flavor was just perfect for a red velvet. Two qualms: wish it was a tad more moist (although no one else seemed too concerned about that) and, more importantly, the icing had some problems. The white sugar the recipe called for came out tasty, but grainy. Not to mention it looked more like cottage cheese than buttercream. I'll use confectioner's sugar next time for sure! One last tip: you'll need two of those large red food coloring bottles to meet the 4 tbs requirement. I learned that the hard way.

Tried this when I had a serious chocolate craving but no eggs in the house, and it definitely exceeded my expectations! I doubled the cocoa powder per other reviewers' suggestions and ended up with a rich and very moist cake that I happened to love. 4-stars because I seemed to be the cake's biggest fan--a friend of mine even remarked that it tasted like a "healthy cake" and not in a good way--so I probably won't be making it again if I have eggs on hand.
