I did not like this cake. I'm don't want to criticize this cake, but I must say that it is not my cup of tea. I would like to recommend "Elsa's Great Homemade Chocolate Cake" at cooks.com. It's amazing.

This is the first chocolate cake I could eat without frosting it was so good and moist. My husband said it was the best cake I ever made. I did have to cook my cake longer around 25 minutes but I had no problem getting mine out of the pan. It was so good I made it again the very next week.

The only change that I would suggest is to change the baking temp. from 400 degrees to 350 degrees.

My 3 year old and i had a swell time making this cake. I used cake flour and halved the recipe so it would fit into an 8" round pan. I did grease and flour the pan. (always do) it was done in the time stated.

This cake was a big hit at my nieces 1st birthday party. It is moist and not overpoweringly rich or sweet. It was the 1st time everyone finished their whole piece of cake. The frosting is soooo delicious! it tastes like christmas fudge. The cake would be naked without this frosting. It makes a great cake filler as well.

I picked this recipe because I had all the ingredients at home (I love the ingredient search!). These were really good. I made cupcakes with this recipe and they are disappearing!! FAST! I followed the recipe to a T. This is a keeper!

I never let a bad rating make me not try a recipe, so I tried this one. I made 2 9inch rounds. One I had to throw out, the bottom was burnt. Although it said 400 I don't know what happened. The other I savaged and it tasted allright, and I have to admit I added more cocoa. Probably about an additional 1/4 which made it more chocolatey. I would suggest baking this at 350. I also would add more cocoa or use a premium grade I used Nestle.

I made this cake and it turned out so great. I made it for my boyfriend and his 5 roommates and it was gone quickly. I didn't have vinegar so I didn't put that in, but I'm not sure it made that much of a difference. SO good.

I thought this cake needs more chocolate and maybe a teaspoon more of vanilla. But the frosting was very good. By the time the middle of the cake was done the sides were really dry.
