really a great recipe--- i made half with the cocoa powder and half without, then marbled it... turned out fabulous. i'm definitely making this one again... i don't know why some users found it dry. it worked out for me very nicely. now i'm babbling... but definitely try this out!!

This is the best chocolate cake I've ever had! I made it today, since we were having my grandparents over for the 4th of July. Everyone loved it.

Sorry-- this cake did not work well for me. I am not picky-- but I was not impressed.

this was great. i added chocolate chips to it so it made it all the more better. the only problem i had with this, i got horrible heartburn and i dont normally get it. but ooohh yum! :D

This cake was terrific. I cooked it 10 minutes longer then it recomended. It turned out great.

This cake was delicious and pretty easy to make. I do agree it makes way more than just one cake. I filled my pan about ¾ of the way full and then I used the rest to make 12 cupcakes and we also ate a good bit of frosting!! It was chocolate but not too chocolaty. It has a really great taste!! Thanks!!

Very tasty. It did not need frosting, as it was sweet enough by itself. I had massive overflow so the second time I put the extra batter in a 3-cup soup crock and I still had overflow! You can easily make a large and small bunt cake out of this recipe.

I listened to the previous reviewers, and only poured half of the batter into my bundt pan. I also substituted 1/4 c sour cream and 3/4 c milk to try and make it more moist, and that failed. It was very dry. Decent flavor, but not very chocolatey enough. I even dusted the bundt pan with cocoa powder instead of flour to boost the chocolate flavor, and it didn't help. Using the chocolate glaze II from this site helped a little - but be sure to have a glass of milk on hand when eating.

This cake is easy to make and delicious. I made this for a friend's birthday then had to make it for my family. Because it is such a large cake, I cut it in half using two eggs and baked it for 50 minutes in a 8" square pan. Make sure you use a 10" bundt pan for the whole recipe. Most likely bakers that had trouble with batter spilling over used the wrong size pan.

This was good, but not exceptional.

too dense and not very fluffy

This cake was delicious. I only wish I could have done some sort of glaze but I made it for a county fair baking contest! IT WON 1st Place out of three bundt cakes! Thanks so much for the recipe. Not too chocolatey but very nice texture and flavor!

Followed it exactly to original recipe. Very moist and wonderfully tasty! Frosted with German Chocolate Frosting 11 from this site. Great cake!

I didn't follow the recipe exactly - I used 1 cup margarine and 1/2 cup vegetable oil - besides that I did everything the same. It turned out tasty indeed. It is simple to make and so I like that. I am using it to make a barbie-doll cake so I liked that other reviewer said it made a lot so that I could pour some of the batter into a small pyrex bowl - for the top part of the dress. It did however, take about 15 minutes longer to bake and 85 minutes total baking time is much longer than I prefer. The cake tastes so much better the next day - it stayed moist and everyone ate it up. I will make this again. But i'll probably turn up the oven temp so it can bake faster.

I have found that mixing one jar of 8 or 16 ounce, which ever you prefer, of your favorite icing with the batter to make the cake more rich and smooth.

This was the best cake I have ever made. I followed another cook's advice and added a box of chocolate pudding mix. I also used buttermilk instead of milk for an incredibly rich, moist and sinful cake!

i added a box of jello devils food pudding to this recipe and was seriously the most delicious chocolate cake we've had. thank you thank you!
