I have made many cakes from scratch and this is the worst cake I have ever tasted. The cream cheese icing does not go well with the chocolate cake. The cake tasted strange. Maybe because it calls for baking soda then vinegar. It fizzed after adding the vinegar. I do not recommend making this cake. I did not taste good. I followed the directions exactly as listed. Please don't this cake.

I made an American flag version of this cake for a 4th of July BBQ (using strawberries and blueberries), and it was a huuuge hit. Everyone raved that it was delicious without being too rich or too sweet. It was also very easy to prepare.

The cake was moist & delicious! Like one user already said, the frosting recipe wasn't quite enough, but was still great.

Nice, rich cake, and frosting is not too sweet, which was great. Added chocolate chips and chopped walnuts to the frosting and gave it some texture.

took this to a birthing class as my potluck dish...it was gobbled up by all the pregnant people and their partners. rich, moist, delicious! i did opt for a different icing without the raw egg though...still a five star.

only used half of the oil required. turned out fine. frosting does not cover cake, so i mixed it with a jar of cream cheese-flavored frosting from the store and it turned out great :)
