This cake baked up so well. I used this recipe to make one 12 inch square and it worked perfectly.

GREAT cake. will not lie...it is a bit crumbly. I sat it out for about 5 hours... still crumbled. BUT I used a thick (but not too sweet) icing, held it together for presentation. --as soon as you tried to cut it, mind you, it fell to pieces! Nevertheless everyone LOVED it and requested I make another one!!

This cake was amazingly good. I used 2 pans, and this made the baking time about 15 minutes more. I also separated the eggs and whisked the whites with 1/4 of the sugar, although I don't know how much of a difference that made.

This is Good! This was the second time I made it, and now I think this will be my only choc cake recipe! My family does not fancy the really sweet cakes, so I had to reduce the sugar to 1 and 3/4 cups, but that was still sweet with frosting. Without the frosting, it was just perfect!! Very fine crumb and very moist cake. This is definitely a keeper! I did goof up a little bit though, my baking soda was kind of old, so did not want to risk using it, and instead used just 2 tsps of baking power. Seems that was not enough, as the cake did not rise as much as it did the last time I made it. Now I know what to do next time! Overall, I love this cake!!!!

Oh...my...god...is all I can think of to say. That was the best cake I have ever tasted. If you make it with the Chocolate Frosting I (on this website), you will really, truly, honestly, think you have died and gone to heaven. I swear. Except, here's a tip for the people who decide to make the Chocolate Frosting I, you have to double the recipe for frosting! But oh...my...god, YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS RECIPE! IT IS TO die FOR!!! *dies on the spot* =P

This is an unbelievably moist, delicious chocolate cake. Very decadent! I highly recommend this to anyone considering making it. I used it for my daughters birthday cake, and got rave reviews from all my guests!! I topped it with "Special Buttercream Frosting" also taken from this site, and it was out of this world. I do have to say I was a bit nervous about the recipe after mixing it up and pouring into the pans, the batter was very thin and I thought no way it was going to bake up right but it did, and I used two 8" cake pans, and was concerned about overbaking, but I only had to add about 5 mins on to the total time and they came out perfect!! I will definately use this as my Chocolate Cake recipe from here on out!!!

Tasty! However, I would have benefited from a different cook time/temp since I used a Bundt cake pan. Because I didn't do the research the cake wasn't near as moist as the other reviews stated. I'll try again and follow the original instructions for baking. (I did use coffee in place of water and added a cup of chocolate chips).

I will NEVER use another chocolate cake recipe!! I have tested so many cake recipes and always have issues with them. I follow this exactly and it turns out fantastic everytime. I used this recipe with a raspberry filling and whipped cream cheese frosting AND chocolate ganache. It is to die for! I served this at a birthday party and at a company luncheon and many rave reviews! EXCELLENT!!

Excellent chocolate cake. Very easy to make and tasted great. I frosted it with a chocolate cream cheese frosting for my daughter's 2nd birthday and got rave reviews. Will definitely make again.
