This was a surprise. I had a craving for a cake after work last night - but I only have 1.5 hrs to spend. So I browsed allrecipes quickly to find easy cake to make - and found this! I only had half of the sour cream tub, so I used vanilla yoghurt for the other half. I dumped everything in the same mixer, and mixed them all together - that easy. I also put peanut butter chips and almond slivers in them. My friend said this is the best cake she's ever eaten! So moist, delicious, and the easiest of all.

This was a fabulous dessert. I followed recommendations to add the pudding already mixed, but it was a little too moist. Follow the recipe and you will be pleased. I'm excited to try other cake/pudding combinations.

I have mixed emotions on this cake. After all the reviews I was expecting a 5 star cake, it was good, but just good for me. I will try again, but may add pecans and glaze. I will defintely try one readers suggestion of chocolate cake, vanilla pudding and peanut butter chips. It did come out of bundt pan beautfully and my husband liked it, so I wish I could give it 4.5 stars.

my family now calls this "my famous chocolate cake". I have probably made it 20 times since getting it from allrecipes. Every single person who tastes it loves it!!! I have given the recipe away many times. I use store bought chocolate icing in the tub. Make sure to beat the 4 eggs and grease your bundt pan well. You won't be able to eat just one piece! Don't alter the recipe. Make it just like it says.:)

This was a great cake. But I did change it up a bit. I had a can of cherry pie filling that I wanted to use. So I cut out the oil and the water and added the pie filling, I also used ff sour cream. It was moist and fudgy and Oh so good and probably a bit lower in fat. Thanks for the great quick easy recipe Meredith.

Unbelievably fantastic cake. ALL 5 people in my home LOVED it. My 14 yr old keep slicing off piece after piece. I made him quit, then the next morning, there only a small sliver left. He had attacked it during the night also. He's been begging me to make another one for a week, so I finally bought the ingredients again today.

I don't know what went wrong, but my cake created a tunnel all the way around. I followed the recipe to the letter except vanilla instead of chocolate pudding, which shouldn't have made a difference. The oven was preheated to the right temperature, and I know it's accurate, because I bake all the time. If anyone has a suggestion I would sure like to hear it.

The recipe is good. I made it for my god-daughter's birthday. I served it warmed. Everybody loved it. I did sprinkle the bottom of the pan with chopped walnuts. The only reason I didn't the recipe 4 stars was because mixing was not all that easy. The mix is very thick...and hard to stir. But good. I have made it 2 times since then using chocolate cake mix. Great!

This was okay. Tasted like boxed cake to me..my kids liked it okay. I prefer the homemade taste, this cake did taste like boxed or bakery type cake. I wont make this again unless I want a quick cake in a hurry.

I enjoyed this recipe. I used chocolate cake mix instead of yellow. It was sweet, dense and moist and needed no icing. My kids really enjoyed it. I didn't use the chocolate chips, but I think I will next time :)

This cake was excellent! And soooo easy to make. The only change I made to the recipe was substituting peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips. It was a big hit at our Easter dinner.
