Not the prettiest cake in the world, but it won't last 24 hours!! I used a devil's food cake mix. Made fudge sauce per instructions. Poked as many holes as possible in the top of the 9 x 13 cake. Before baking the cake, with a spoon, gently pull batter into the corners of the pan. Someone taught me this years ago. It will help your 9 x 13 (or 9 x 9, etc.) cakes to have a more level shape. I served this cake with Cool Whip and it was great. But, I had visions of this cake warm with vanilla ice cream! There's so much syrup that it will gather under the cake. Be sure to use a spatula when serving so that you can scoop some of the extra syrup onto each piece of cake. Yum! Yum!

This cake was sooooooooooooo good. My husband and I ate it hot out of the oven. I sent the recipe to several friends immediately after eating it.

OMG! this is good!my kids and I cannot keep our fingers off of it! The only thing I would change next time is to cut the sauce in half. I thought it was too much for one cake but definitely perfect for two though. tfs!

This cake gets 5 stars for taste (it's fantastic), but only three for presentation. There is way too much sauce for the amout of cake and it just looks sloppy when poured over it. I think next time I will make half the amount of sauce and just drizzle it over the cake slices right before serving. Although, the left over sauce from this time worked perfectly on ice cream :)

Huge huge hit!! Delicious cake! My sis made it for my mom's 60th birthday and everybody said it was the best cake ever! I made it for my friends and got too impatient with my bundt pan and wound up serving it up in bowls with the fudge sauce over it and some strawberries (like my sis who had a perfect bundt!) everybody raved about it! Add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream! I'll be making this one a lot!!!

This was SO YUMMY!! I recommend serving it warm (or warm in the microwave) and you absolutely should have vanilla ice cream with it. My husband loved it, and he DOES NOT eat many sweets at all (white cake no frosting type of guy)....so seriously....that says a lot about how good this recipe is! I also used a dark chocolate cake mix and instead of walnuts I sprinkled toasted pecans on top. I will make this again and again! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! =)

This cake did not taste good to me at all, but I'm pregnant right now, so I'm not the best judge of taste. My husband seemed to like it okay. I only put one tsp of vanilla in it, but even with that, it was way too sweet, and not chocolaty enough. As I said though, I may not be the best judge.

This is the awesomest recipe. It's so easy, yet does NOT taste like it's out of a box. A great easy and somewhat fast dessert to make for anyone.

Ok I have answered my own question I put cake on a plate put the holes in and over about 10 mins drizzled the fudge over. It just kept absorbing it up. I will make this again and again...Fabulous. Must have with ice cream.

After reading all the great reviews, I was anxious to make this cake. I followed the recipe to the "letter" and being a chocoholic was eagerly anticipating the results. Sorry, but this DID NOT ring my bells...it was somewhat better the following day, but I won't be baking this one again.

Can I just say....OMG. This recipe is easily one of the best, if not THE best I have tried on this site. Not only is it easy to make, the results are absolutely phenomenal. I brought this cake to dinner at a friend's house and "cake bombed" (left the leftovers with her so I wouldn't eat 'em all!) her. She and her husband couldn't stay out of this cake! Two warnings: 1. DEFINITELY grease AND flour the pan. The cake is so gooey it really does stick. 2. Only make this if you have friends to share it...otherwise, I promise you, you WILL eat the whole thing yourself.

This cake is definitely for chocoholics like my family! Its wonderfully moist and chocolately. Once you get the topping over it, you can't tell its a boxed cake mix. Its pretty messy though, because the chocolate is more like a syrup than a frosting. I used Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate unsweetened cocoa and used only 3/4 cup of sugar. I think it would be just as good with only 1/2cup of sugar because its plenty sweet. Great! Thanks Colleen!

This cake was awesome! I made it exactly as stated (minus the nuts) and we loved every bite. It is good served warm or cold after being refrigerated overnight. This recipe is a keeper!

I must have done something wrong while making this cake. It did not turn out well at all. The fudge part all went to the bottom & stuck to the bottom of the pan. I was able to cut off the top, cake-y, part and serve in small squares. It did, at least, have a really great flavor, just very messy and falling apart. Thanks.

I made this cake for our Valentine's Tango Workshop, and it almost disappeared before I got any. I used a bundt pan which made the cake look very elegant once it was finished. I had to substitute unsweetened baking chocolate for the cocoa powder, but it still worked great. This cake is so easy and cook-friendly, I was actually able to make it without any measuring instruments (They were all "mising in action" the day I had to bake). This cake will be making many reappearances at my dessert tables, I can't wait to make it for my family!

I made the cake with Hershey's Dark Cake Mix and this was the best chocolate cake ever. Way easy and tastes like you have spent all day. I don't even like really fudgey things, but this was great! Will definitely make again.

Everyone loved the cake! Awesome recipe =)

AWESOME
