I would give this 3.5 stars. Of the cakes I have tried this one is definitely in the lower half of choices. I did try it with the extra chocolate still to no avail. The texture was so-so, the flavor was decent, but I won't make this one again. When I take time to make a cake from scratch, it needs to beat one out of the box or I've wasted my time, this one didn't pass that test.

This is my second time making this cake and it sunk in a little bit this time. It was still fabulous and yummy! I increased the chocolate to 8 oz and used 3/4 of water with instant coffee dissolved in it. I also added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter.

This was not to my liking. The middle of the cake sunk in and the edges were burnt really bad. When I took it out, the middle was soupy. It tasted pretty bad and nearly inedible because of the raw center. Never making this again.

Blissful. Divine. Supurb. I really liked it. A lot. Can you tell? I'll never make any other chocolate cake again. This was rich, fudgey, dense, moist and cut so easily and cleanly, which was really nice for serving it. I used the Cream Cheese Frosting II recipe (hands down the best frosting I've ever tasted), which is also found here on Allrecipes. I'd give this more than 5 stars if I could! (I DID double the amount of chocolate that the recipe calls for!)

It was an alright cake there was nothing special about it, it was an ordinary cake and a little bit dry for me but its still worth a try....

This cake was so delicious & easy to make. I made it exactly as written with one exception of 2 extra chocolate bars.

this is one of the best recipes i have tried from scratch because its moist and rich - i added extra chocolate and 1/4 cup sugar to enhance the chocolate flavour so it was not too bitter. Overall very great and almost like a black forest brownie fudgy cake!!

OMG! this cake is fantastic! When my daughter told me she wanted a chocolate fudge cake for her b-day, -- i was kinda leery because i've tried several that were just ...eh. But this one is absolutely perfect! its thick, yet moist and OH so fudgy! I did add extra chocolate like other people had mentioned, i used 7 squares of Semi-sweet instead of unsweetened and it was just right i think! I used Caroline's chocolate fudge frosting w/ it and it turned out terrific!
