I dont know why but this cake came out very dry. The icing needs some work as well. I may try this again but it was more like chocolate cornbread.

Made this for my friend's birthday along with chocolate chip icing. Tastes amazing when cold, like a giant thick brownie cake. Big hit, it was eaten every day for 3 days.

I cannot give this more than three stars. I made it for my mother-in-law's birthday and even though it tasted pretty good and the guests liked it, it was WAYYYYY too dry. I'm not sure what to add to make it moist and less dense - it was like eating chocolate cornbread. I did not use the frosting recipe on this recipe but instead used the Vanilla-chocolate powdered sugar frosting on this website (which is delicious).

Good, Not Great. Not at all what I was expecting. I think it needs a bit of oil, as it was pretty dry. I didn't use the the frosting - instead I made "Satiny Chocolate Glaze" which was great.

Has a good taste, but came out a liitle dry. Maybe I was off on a measurement. It is worth trying again, though!

Cake itself is great. But the frosting needs just a little work...I would recommend that you lessen the milk. Mix the sugar and cocoa to the butter, then add the vanilla, then add the milk about 1/4 cup at a time. Mix enough milk to make the thickness you want the frosting. When I added the 1 cup of milk I got a frosting that was a little too thin. and yes I did add the milk alternately with the sugar mixture.
