Sooooo good!!! If you want a chocolate cake that is moist and delicous....make this! I was a little scared with the whole mayonasie thing but it works! I made for a party and everyone loved it. I had to take the rest of the cake to my mom's house so I wouldn't eat the whole thing! MAKE IT! You won't regret it!

This is a very good cake. I used the cocoa conversion (3T.cocoa+1T.oil=1 sq.baking chocolate) and the cake turned out very well, moist and tasty. I will surely use this recipe again.

Well, I had to make this cake when I saw the ingredients, it was just so unusual! It looked fantastic, tasted chocolatey (I used the cocoa powder and oil) but the texture was slightly rubbery. However it didn't detract much from the cake, nearly all my family loved it!

LOVE IT! I only had 2/3 cup of mayo, so I subbed 1/3 cup of plain yogurt. It is moist, chocolatey, goodness! This is definitely taking the place of my boxed cakes. Yum!

This is the first time in a long time I've made cake from scratch... and it turned out really well! I'm very pleased. I actually made cupcakes, it yielded 18 and they were done in 20 minutes.

Easy to prepare & didn't take long to make. However the cake DOES NOT taste like chocolate. My sister asked what flavor it was although it clearly looked chocolate. It wasn't sweet and I don't know how other people could rate this as "the best". To say it's meteocre is even a compliment. I'd rather make something from the box like Betty Crocker brand or something, at least it'll taste like what it says it is. BOO two thumbs down. Even my cream cheese frosting couldn't help this cake. *I made it EXACTLY as the recipe states.

I made this cake for my boyfriend's birthday and he couldn't speek, he could only moan with his mouth full! I followed the recipe but changed the chocolate a bit. I added a tbsp. of hershy's unsweetened cocoa, used only two squares of unsweetened, and then added about 3/4 cup of semi sweet chips, and 1/8 cup of bittersweet. I topped it with the recipe on the back of the cocoa for perfectly chocolate chocolate frosting, and it was absolutely amazing and moist! The batter is runny and it took a while longer to bake but delicious!

I made this for my husband birthday and we loved it!! We love moist, rich cakes and this was perfect. I used the Chocolate-Genache Icing recipe from this site and it was just the right touch. Not too sweet. I also made it in two round cake pans and put cherries into some of the icing to make a "filling" between the layers. Yum!!!
