ummm, sorry to say that this cake disappointed me. i've made plenty of chocolate cakes (many of them from this site) and this isn't a recipe that i'm going to keep. it lacks in chocolate flavor and if i hadn't topped it with chocolate ganche, my family wouldn't have eaten it.

Yes, I was in such a rush to make this cake, I broke the first rule of cooking: read all directions before starting to make the recipe. To my delight, even though I messed up, this cake came out wonderfully. So, if you sift the cocoa in with yout flour mixture, and you simply mix the shortening, hot water, sugar and vanilla - it won't look promising, but it will turn out. I can't wait to make this recipe the right way ext time.
