wow. I just snuck a little piece (no one will know since it will be flipped, hehe) and it is amazing! it's still in the oven...about 15 mins left. I had to slightly modify the chocolates as I only had random chocolate chips on hand.

Wow this cake is awesome! the chocolate chips and sour cream make all the difference! I also added a little water and about 2 tablespoons of instant coffee granules, because i am a chocolate and coffee fanatic! They go so well together! What ever you do, don't forget the chocolate chips!!!!!! Add extra if you can, you'll be amazed!

This is the best chocolate cake I have ever made. I followed the recipe exactly. It is moist, rich and delicious. The only better chocolate cake I have had was my chocolate wedding cake from Party Favors in Boston. This cake is totally worth the effort. My smiling chocolate loving husband is proof of that.

This recipe was great! I followed the recipe exactly. When I mixed the chocolate with the boiling water it was very hard to stir, but once I mixed the sour cream with it, I had no problems at all. I did have to cook it about 10 minutes longer than called for, but it was moist, rich, and delicious. My kids and husband ate it up in about 2 days! Will definitely make this recipe again and again!

Not sure what I did wrong with this cake. I think it has the potential to be totally devilish. When I melted the chocolate/cocoa with the boiling water, it was VERY dry and didn't melt the chocolate pieces. I think this was the major problem. It was dry as well...perhaps due to too much stirring??? But I didn't think I overstirred..at any rate, I will try again, and hoping some others will help me fix my problem!

It wasn't as sweet as I would have liked but it was was very chocolate-y. I used regular frosting, nuked it for about 30 seconds, drizzled over the top, and sprinkled that with crushed peppermints. The cake looked very pretty.
