Amazing! Rich, decadent and over-the-top chocolate. Not overly sweet, but you absolutely need to cut small pieces. I made a raspberry sauce to go with it - turned out to be completely unnecessary.

I made this cake for Easter. What a treat! I had at least 7 testers and all gave it five stars. It is chocolate-y goodness times 3! Times 4 if you put a glaze on it.

No doubt that this is the BEST chocolate cake I've EVER eaten!! And so sinfully easy to make! I switch up the liqueur depending on my mood but my favorite is a mix of amaretto and hazelnut! I bake mine in three 9 inch cake pans for about 25-35 mins. I make a chocolate mousse filling and a ganache topping using recipes from this site. You should definitely try it!!! Your friends will be begging you to make more cakes and give them you "secret" recipe! ;-)

This is the second time I've made this recipe--and it was great both times. I used milk instead of 1/2 cup coffee flavored liqueur and used mini-chocolate chips like others suggested.

this cake is also commonly known as "Emily McCormick's In a Pinch Chocolate Cake," and my grandmother has been making it for as long as I can remember. It freezes beautifully, and it's wonderful made into a layer cake with either a chocolate ganauche between the layers or sweetened whipped cream between the layers.

This is a lot of chocolate even for a chocoholic. Don't get me wrong- I'm not complaining! This cake is wonderful. I've made it for family birthdays and for gifts for friends. Everyone loves it. It is easy to make and tasts fantastic.

This cake was moist and delicious even though I didn't use quite as much sour cream as the recipe called for (I used only 8 oz).

I am not a cake lover at all but this was by far the best, most moist, delicious cake I have ever tasted. I had it with Kahlua (1 cup) and mini chocolate chips (1 cup) and it was to die for. I am going to try different recommended flavors by others next time.

I have been making the chocolate Kaluah pound cake for some time and then I found this recipe. It is much better than all the others I have tried. The ingredients and the cooking time make a perfect cake. If you are currently making other recipes of the same cake, I would definetly try this one!

This was absolutely wonderful!! I am a huge chocolate lover so I actually added quite a few more tablespoons of ghiradelli cocoa to the mix, and used Kahlua's Mocha Coffee Liqueur!!! What a difference!!
