After the first batch I made some modifications. The recipe as is is a little bland and does not rise very much. I am making cupcakes doubling the recipe (first try was single recipe). For a double recipe: I add an extra egg and 2 tsp vanilla, I substitute butter for margarine and use 1/2 brown sugar 1/2 white sugar, then I use heaping measurements for the baking soda, cinnamon & cocoa. Double recipe makes 32 FULL cupcakes.

This recipe is the best. The only drawback is now it's the only thing anyone wants me to make. The touch of cinnamon is what makes this great. I serve it with cinnamon Icecream. MMMMMMMMMMM......

this was very dry.i should have known better then to use a recipe calling for unsweetened cocoa,using bars of unsweetened chocolate works much better.it didnt have much of a chocolate taste.the frosting calls for way too much sugar.

This recipe has been around in our family for about 80 years and is certainly a family favorite--especially mine! It's very moist and chocolatey! A couple of things to consider: 1) it's a great cake even without the salt, shortening, and cinnamon; 2) for an extra special treat-add Nestle's chocolate chips to the batter...they work their way to the bottom and are a great chocolatey treat when you eat; 3) the frosting is great with pecans or walnuts and is much easier to work with if you put it on while both the frosting and the cake are still warm. You'll love this recipe...it's really delicious!

I HAVE BEEN COOKING FOR 25 YEARS AND THIS RECIPE WAS DRY, NO TASTE, AND NEEDED MORE CHOCOLATE FLAVOR IN THE CAKE. THE ICING WAS OKAY. I WILL ATTEMPT TO FIND ANOTHER CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE RECIPE. I WILL NEVER MAKE THIS CAKE AGAIN.

This is the best! Can't miss. I've had this recipe for 20 years and still the favorite. I use walnuts or pecans in the icing, and sometimes omit the cinnamon. I usually use a 9x13 pan. Try it, you will receive raves. Thanks Kim for listing...I'm out of town and needed this recipe. Saved me a long distance call.

Really good. I used butter instead of margarine. Some chopped walnuts in the icing would be good, too.

I tried this cake for my daughter's birthday. I needed a big cake. I had so many compliments. This cake is very moist and YUMMY! the cinnamon in it gives it a very awsome taste. I din't use the frosting recipe, I frosted it with cream cheese frosting so that I could decorate it. EVERYONE loved it and I will use it again and again. Thanks for sharing. :)
