By far the best chocolate cake recipe I have ever used. I use this on its own, or as a base layer for another cake I make and I always get compliments on it. There is not one thing I have changed in the recipe either. It doesn't even need icing it's so good just on it's own!

made this cake for my daughters 3rd birthday in the shape of elmo. I used buttercream frosting so I could die it red. It was so good, my cake was beautiful and yummy

I thought this was great. This was the base to my black forrest cake. I usually tweak recipes because I can't seem to help myself . . . but this was great, no tweaking needed!

I have to say - this is one of the easiest recipes ever, and comes out so delicious, rich, moist, fluffy.. I've made it many times and I love it. Notes: -- I usually make it with cream cheese frosting. -- This cake should stay in the fridge for about 2 days before eaten. The time there makes it nicely moist.

This cake is AMAZING- so moist. I use coffee in place of the water, it really brings out the flavor of the chocolate without overpowering it. Great with chocolate frosting but my favorite is cream cheese frosting on this one. This has become my signature recipe for birthday cake.

I just made this cake and tasted it. I'm not a chocolate lover by no means but I really like this cake. It's really tasty and I will make it in the future when I need something like this. The only change I made was that I cut the sugar to 1 3/4 cups because I don't need a dessert to be too sweet. Thank you for the recipe.
