This cake is delicious! It is so easy. I usually can tell a cake mix cake, but this would have stumped me. It is very moist. I made it for my Bunco Group and they (and my hubby) loved it!

Super chocolatey, rich and gooy. Used egg beaters (always do), light sour cream and light butter (what I had) and it was almost too rich. Baked beautifully in 54 minutes and topped with Satiny Chocolate Glaze. We all said it was too rich but kept eating away. Definitely a special occasion cake for a chocoholic.

I use Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding, Greek Yogurt, and 1 cup strong brewed coffee in place of some of the cake ingredients and I use Sugar Free Chocolate Frosting to frost cake....you can also substitute Sugar Free Chocolate Cake Mix in place of the regular one. The cake still turns out very rich and moist.

I was skeptical about this recipe since it use cake mix but after reading all the reviews I decided to give it a try...and I regret it. I always prepare my cake from scratch and now I remember why.

WOW!!! This is seriously chocolatey chocolate cake!!!! It's like death by choclate. Which some people (such as my little brother) would like. So I made it for his 8th birthday. And I used about a half a cup of mini chocolate chips in place of the semi-sweet because it was too sweet and gooey when I used the 2 cups of semi-sweet the time before. I also melted some caned chocolate icimg and spooned that over it like a chocolate glaze. That was realy good! I've also tried brushing a clear glaze over it made with powdered sugar,milk and a little vanilla. That tasted great!! This cake took about 5 minutes than the recipe said, but when you stick a knife or a toothpick in it ,it never comes out clean! It's probably because of the chocolat chips. So the best way to tell is to use a butter knife and if the melted chocolate make just streaks on the butter knife it's done. I hope this review is helpful. Try some of these icing ideas!(: Over all this cake rocked for the serious chocolate eaters.

This cake was AWESOME! My fiance was an ice cream cake for his birthday and I wasn't sure what kind of cake would do well in the freezer - I'm so glad I took a shot with this one! I used devil's food cake and devil's food pudding mix and traded peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips. I baked this in two 8" layer pans and it took about 35 minutes. I spread a layer of softened vanilla ice cream between the cakes after they were completely cooled and then frosted the whole thing with Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting and decorated it with mini Reese's cups. Very decadent, but my fiance absolutely loved it and the cake didn't get dry or rock hard in the freezer!

This cake was very good. I only used 1 cup of chocolate chips, and I use 1/4 cup of kahlua and 1/4 cup of water instead of 1/2 cup water. I drizzled it with Kahlua glaze (2 cups confectioners sugar, 2 tbs Kahlua, 2 tbs water), and covered it with Heath toffee bits. It was delicious and I got many compliments.
