Not much better than a plain-old boxed cake mix. Disappointing for the expense of ingredients used.

With the small changes, this rating is off the chart! 6 stars if I could! My friend made this for me on my bday since I LOVE chocolate, and this IS the best chocolate cake ever! Followed tips to use Vanilla extract, mini choco chips, and don't over mix batter. Glaze: 1 cup choco chips, small can condensed milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Melt together and pour over cake, top with mini choco chips. Enjoy with a cup of milk or ice cream, it's super rich and totally satisfying!

I followed the recipe. It DOES make too much batter - I think if you left the chips out of the batter it's the perfect volume for a typical bundt pan. I knew it would likely overflow beforehand, and it did. I have a teflon oven liner, so no big deal. It really wasn't that messy anyhow, just a couple of drips. After it cooled I cut the top off level with the pan. This is my first attempt. It came out delicious! Very moist and very chocolately. My husband's only complaint is that he would have preferred I used milk chocolate chips, since he is not a dark chocolate lover. One week later we still have some left over and it's STILL very moist and delicious. (Keep in a glass cake plate on our buffet table.) I used the satiny chocolate glaze recipe here on this website, and sprinkled a handful of chocolate chips into the glaze as a final touch. Looked gorgeous!

I made this cake and must say..... YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!!!!!! This is incredible!! I did use only vanilla extract, not the almond though. It is so moist, and even with all the chocolate, it is not too rich or sweet. I used the satiny chocolate glaze recpipe from this site, and doubled it as suggested and used 1/2 semi sweet and 1/2 milk chocolate chips. This recipe is a keeper, and will certainly be made many times in our home and passed around to friends and family.

This is a great cake - very moist! My only regret is not using the mini - chocolate chips. I've already got plans to make this again next week!

I made this for my coworkers and 3/4 of the cake was gone in 30 mins! I've actually been asked to remake it this week b/c many people missed out. It is actually very easy to follow. Pay heed to others advice of using mini chocolate chips and spray the pan VERY well. **8/9/09 Made this in a vanilla form (French Vanilla mix, vanilla pudding, vanilla chips) and everyone loved it as well! I made 3 layers and put strawberry preserves between each layer. I frosted the cake with vanilla frosting and topped with coconut. It was a hit.

This was perfection! I used a bag of mini chocolate chips and they melted just perfectly to give it that creamy chocolate texture. I also used German Choc cake mix just out of personal preference (I think it is a little more moist). I also used vanilla instead of almond extract because we aren't big almond fans. Make sure you spray your pan really well, and the cake will slide right out. Also, bake on cookie sheet because it does boil over a little. This was DELISH! Moist and creamy and SO great! I made it for my MIL's birthday, and everyone loved it!! Keeper for sure!

Best chocolate cake I ever made! Used 3 9" cake pans to make a layer cake instead of a Bundt. I didn't want it to be overwhelmingly chocolate so substituted 2 cups of crush almonds for the 2 cups of chocolate chips. It added something different and really made it a treat.

I thought I'd tried every "super-chocolate" cake recipe there was, and then I stumbled across this one. I knew I would like anything with all that butter and sour cream, but I was still amazed at how awesomely delicious this is. Unfortunately it has turned out to be quite inconsistent and unreliable. When it is good, it is fantastic - sort of like a giant chocolate truffle. But more times than not, it falls, fails to cook through or does other weird and unpleasant things. I've moved on to another recipe.

Really great! My daughter is a chocoholic and loves this cake! I used the mini chips and satiny glaze. Be sure not to over bake, though.
