Very easy to make and tasted great! Though I recommend going a little heavier on the chocolate if you're looking for that "decadent" chocolate flavor. I will use this recipe again.

Im only giving this recipe 4 stars because of the taste. It is rather good not to sweet, not to choclatey, which brings me to wonder where the "double" chocolate cake name comes from. However I would like to note this recipe is a "gummy/sticky" cake. when cooling it on the racks it stuck to them rather badly because of the sticky texture. And for anyone who owns a train cake mold for their little train lover, I will suggest this recipe, however do not fill over 3/4 full as it will rise to much, giving a fluffy bottom to your little train :) ALL AROUND 4 STARS THOUGH!!!
