Very rich and chocolatey! Instead of the cup of hot water I added a cup of hot coffee. Has anyone made cupcakes with this recipe? If so, what alterations did you or would you make?

Very moist, super chocolaty, amazing cake! We didn't use the frosting recipe part (made our own cream cheese frosting instead). The only change we made was reducing the sugar (still came out pleasantly sweet) by about half and using a 50/50 whole wheat and white flour mix (to add a little fiber). Great recipe and definitely converted my friends away from using box cake mixes ever again.

The cake was very simple to bake and the instructions are very clear too. Its light, fluffy and delicious. Though I feel that the icing was a bit excessive it still tasted amazing and everyone in the family loved it! Definitely gonna bake this again soon :-)

This cake is awesome, and a chocolate lovers dream! I have made it with both hot water and coffee (not changing anything else), both are delicious. I used to think no homemade cake could compete with a boxed mix. I know that seems wrong, but it was my opinion, based on previous homemade recipes I had tried. Then I gave this cake a try, and it blew all other recipes (and even boxed mixes) away! SOOOO GOOOOD! Thanks for sharing it!

This has been my go-to chocolate cake recipe for years,whether it be baked in a 9x13 pan, 3-8" layers, 2-9" layers, cupcakes......all work great, but a little common sense goes a long way!I often use coffee instead of water and have iced with every flavour imaginable.

Made it for our friends' 25th anniversary. She's a chocolate cake lover. I made it in a 12" milton round pan from hobby lobby, only 1 layer, 3 days ahead & left it in pan. I needed the full amount of icing. As icing was thick I added a little bit of milk, I put 4 cups of sugar instead of 5 1/2, used coffee instead of water (as all advised) I covered it with fondant. It was a great hit. 1st time I see people taking 2nd & 3rd of a cake. They asked 4 recipe as well. Thanks :)
