As a FIRST time baker (not a lover of the kitchen) this receipe was simple to follow, the baking time however, took a bit longer (by 10 mins), will have to let y'all know how it tasted! It's cooling now, I baked it for my Son's 17th b'day :) Thanks so much!

This recipe is awesome! I have made it countless times over the last year (in cake form and cupcake form), and it comes out consistently great every time! My husband and kids absolutely LOVE it, and other people ALWAYS have positive feedback about how moist the cake is. Thank you for sharing this outstanding recipe!!!

I totally loved the flavor!!! However, It did not really rise that well.... the middle did, however, it was about one inch thick and I was hoping for a thicker cake... that's why I give it a 3 star, but the flavor was excellent!!!

We loved this! I, too, doubled the recipe for a 11x15 pan. It came out the perfect height. I had to bake it for about 40 minutes.

I made this with skim milk instead of buttermilk (because that was all I had) & substituted apple sauce for the oil and it turned out GREAT. Very quick and easy AND yummy.

This is a great and easy recipe. I was half asleep the first time I made it and it still came out delicious.

Needs salt I think. The butter/oil combo is a good idea though - don't be tempted to substitute as both give different textures/flavor. As for flavor I think this could use a dash of instant coffee or sub the water for coffee to enhance the flavor otherwise it isn't that chocolately.

The only flavor of cake I ever make is chocolate so I have a lot of experience with various chocolate cakes. This one is by far the WORST chocolate cake I have ever made. I found this recipe in hopes to use it for a sheet cake for my son's first birthday. I decided to make a smaller version before the party to test it - Thank god I did! It has a very floury taste with a very light and non distinctive chocolate flavor. Even with chocolate icing it didn't taste very chocolaty. It is moist which is about all it has going for it since the flavor is worse than a boxed cake. If you love chocolate as I do.... don't make this cake! If I could give it any less than 1 star I would.
