I used cake & pastery flour instead of AP flour. The cake tasted pretty good but was a little heavy.

BEST SCRATCH CHOCOLATE CAKE EVER. Couldn't be easier to make. Top with whip cream or a simple ganache chocolate frosting. Moist, moist moist...sticky moist....even after refrigeration.

Awesome cake! Super easy to make just added 1 tsp on cinnamon and double the vanilla extract. Used the Hard Chocolate Glaze from this site which finished it off perfectly. Took it to my garden club meeting and it was gone in seconds, same thing when I took it to work. Make sure you bring the recipe with you, everyone asks for it.

I have been making this cake for about 25 yrs..You can't find a better tasting chocolate cake. It is so moist it's almost impossible to over bake. My only tip is to just dump everything into your bowl in the recipe order and beat until smooth (it won't take long). Batter will be thin as stated. If you are a true chocoholic like me, frost with chocolate frosting (I use the chocolate frosting recipe on the Hershey's cocoa can). If not, use a vanilla or buttercream frosting. A touch of coffee added to any frosting will really bring out the coffee flavor but, won't overpower the overall taste. I love this recipe and I am sure you will too.

This was my first attempt at making a cake from scratch. I was a little nervous when the batter was so thin, but was pleasantly suprised at how fantastic the cake turned out. I brought it over to dinner at my parents and my dad said it was by far his new favorite chocalate cake. This was pretty amazing for my dad to say since my mom is known for her wonderful cakes!

I was really disappointed in this cake, the batter was delicious! I also made a really fantastic chocolate frosting, but together it was bland.

I made this cake for a Halloween party and it turned out PERFECT! I baked it in a bundt pan and took it out of the oven and put it straight into the freezer for 20 minutes as someone suggested in a review. I had no problem getting it out of the pan or handling it. I prepared the Easy Chocolate Bundt Cake Glaze from this site and drizzled it over the cake when it had cooled. This has an amazing flavor and is super moist. I am going to make it again tonight since I still have buttermilk leftover. Good excuse to make it again, huh? "Can't waste the buttermilk, now can we?"

This cake was a huge success at my Halloween party. Deliciously moist and cooked to perfection in 33 minutes. I cooked it in a 9x13 pan and used a vanilla glaze frosting that I dyed orange to compliment the rich chocolate taste. Many people called it the best chocolate cake they had ever had.

Incredibly moist and delicious and just as easy to prepare as a cake mix in a box. Didn't have time to brew coffee so I dissolved some instant espresso granules in a cup of water. I used a 9x13 pan and it rose just fine and didn't stick to the pan at all. (Baked at 350 for 32 mins) This is now my family's favorite chocolate cake recipe. We iced it with the Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting (also on the Allrecipes site). Thanks so much, Marsha, for the excellent recipe!

This cake was just as amazing as all of the other reviews state! I followed the recipe exactly and it was SO simple. Only one bowl to wash!!! I used chocolate pudding between the layers and cool whip on top and it was perfect! Made it very light and refreshing. I will NEVER used a boxed cake mix again!

Good basic chocolate cake. Made no changes. This will be a go-to "easy" chocolate cake recipe but you do get a better cake fr recipes that involve more steps/additions etc. for airiness.

I don't think I can add anymore great things to the ratings of this cake as it has all been said so many times before. It is all true though and I don't understand how anyone could ding this recipe lower than 5 stars. This is the first scratch cake I baked in over 50 years and found that my efforts produced a cake that moister and better flavored than any box cake I've ever made. The only way I've ever had a box cake moist like this was due to having to add a pudding mix to it. I was concerned when the cake came out of the over though. I didn't rise as much as I thought it should have. I was thinking that I did something wrong or my baking soda had died (the baking powder was new) and tested the soda in some vinegar and it reacted very vigorously. Well I made the cake a second time and it came out the same height so I ended up making a four layer cake! (hint: go to wall mart and for about 4 bucks you can buy a cake leveling wire that you can set the height of and you'll never have lopsided cakes again!) I topped this cake with the "Fluffy Seven-Minute Frosting" from this site. It is the easiest to put together and you don't need a double boiler! I haven't cut this cake yet (taking it to a party tonight) but I did put some of the frosting on the cake trimmings and oh my! what flavor!!! Sorry for the long story but I get that way when a recipe comes out so great! Happy Halloween everybody! 1 last hint: you can buy powered butter milk at most heath food stores.Never with out it!
