This is an exellent cake. It is very most and just a tad gooey. it is the perfect combination of ingredients and is great with any icing or frosting, especially peanut butter or cream cheese frosting

I made this cake in a 9x13 inch pan and it turned out very well, even though I had to bake it for almost 40 minutes. I liked the flavor but the texture was a little less moist than I would have preferred. This may of course be because I did not use the correct pan size. I will try it again with the correct pan in the future. It was a breeze to make for a "made from scratch" recipe. Thanks for sharing!

My family loves this cake, it is their favorite. I've had this recipe for years but the one I have you add 1 tsp. of ground cinnamon to the cake batter and frosting. Gives it a great flavor. I also frost or glaze the cake when just removed from the oven, it makes it heavy and moist. Same recipe for the frosting as mentioned before. 1 box Powered sugar, 1 stick of margarine,6 Tablespoon milk, 4 Tablespoon Cocoa, 1 tsp.cinnamon and 1 tsp. vanilla Melt and mix well margarine,coco,milk and cinnamon in sauce pan, remove from heat once margarine is melted and add vanilla and powered sugar spread on cake while hot. One cup of chopped nuts may be added to frosting if desired.

This is by far the best chocolate cake recipe I've ever made. I used milk because I didn't have any buttermilk and put the glaze on top as suggested. It's so moist and amazing. I will make this recipe often. ;)

I made this as a birthday cake for my girlfriend. Turned out brilliant first time and made me popular. It's very rich and moist. I used a small deep round tin, and baked for around an hour an a half. Finished it off with melted chocolate and white Malteasers. Cooked it on the Sunday, still fresh through Thursday. I cannot say the same for the bought cake she also had. Very impressed with this recipe.

This cake tastes great, and isn't hard to make. I added chocolate chips, just because I'm a chocoholic! BUT- if you are making this cake in a jelly roll pan, do not, I repeat, DO NOT double the recipe like some of the reviewers did. (unless you want 2 cakes!)Apparently they have a deeper pan. I doubled the recipe and it filled my jelly roll pan to the brim! So then I had to pour 1/2 the batter into another pan. Good thing I had another pan!

I make choco, cake cakes all the time, they all come out great. This cake wal dry and chalky. I'm sure some find it fine. Perhaps If Had glaxed it and used toothpicks as suggested, it would have fine. I'm very sorry for such a sad review. It did have a wonerful flavor.

Very good basic chocolate cake. I made the recipe as is and made 2 9" round pans. They came out the perfect size for a layer cake.

I love this recipe!!! I did change it a little, adding some choc chips to the cocoa mixture as another reviewer suggested. I also replaced 1 quarter of a cup of the white sugar with brown sugar. It was delicious! I used buttercream frosting. I also love how big this cake is without having to use too many eggs or other, expensive ingredients. It was easy and cheap to double this recipe and make a HUGE cake for my daughters birthday party. I highly recommend it!

EXCELLENT! Yummy, moist chocolate cake! I highly suggest using FRICIA's glaze topping in reviews. I halfed the recipe and used a 9" square dish, also didn't have buttermilk on hand, but milk seemed to work just fine. The family loved it, I will be making this again!

I made this yesterday for my family and everyone loved it. I had to cook it for 35 min. though(that might have to do with my oven). Instead of the white sugar I used brown sugar. It was moist and tasty... I will for sure be making this again.

This is really a great recipe. My 10 and 8 year old sons who love to cook make this with ease. It really is almost like a brownie so it doesn't matter if you frost it or not. We added a bag of mini chips to the batter at the last second last time we made it and it turned out great!

This was pretty good. A little too sweet for us though. If I made it again and I probably will- I'd decrease the sugar a bit.

This cake turned out great. I doubled the recipe and used an 11 x 15" sheet cake pan. The pan required 11 cups and this was exactly right. It was very dense, more like a brownie.

this cake was great. I wanted to up the chocolate so I melted semi sweet chips with the cocoa mixture. I also added more flour as I was using this cake for a tier and need it to be more dense. It worked out wonderful.
