Its really FUdgey! My cake came out really dense, like a brownie. Only alterations I did was to put in 5 blocks of chocolate and threw in 200g of chocolate chips. Found the caramel too sweet. Maybe I'll pass the caramel frosting and do a normal chocolate one instead.

A)Instead of 3 eggs, I used just 1 (it made the cake denser, less cake-like and more brownie-like). B)I replaced 1 cup of the white flour with whole wheat pastry flour. C)I used fat free sour cream. D)I increased the chocolate to 5 squares. E)I used a bundt pan Also, instead of the caramel frosting, I made a cream cheese frosting. The cake is outstanding.

This cake was really good, light and fudgey. The only thing that I didn't like much was that it is not very chocolatey, and I doubled the chocolate! I think 5 squares of chocolate is not enough for such a big recipe.

Excellent cake! I did a 2 layer cake instead of a sheet cake, and it turned out perfectly. The frosting sets up too quickly for frosting a layer cake, so I suggest using the carmel frosting in the receipe between the 2 layers and make a chocolate frosting for the top and sides of the layer cake as this frosting receipe sets up too quickly to ice anything other than a sheet cake.

Absolutely FABULOUS chocolate cake recipe. I had been using the Hershey's chocolate cake recipe for a couple of years now but this one beat it out hands down. From now on this is the only chocolate cake recipe I'll use. I had 6 different people taste it and they were all amazed at how rich, moist, and delicious it was. It is also to be noted that I made this cake without eggs and it was STILL great. I replace the eggs with Ener-G Egg Replacer and it worked out perfect. Thanks so much for a great recipe. :)

This is a wonderful cake. It's so moist and rich with just the right amount of chocolate. For a real treat ice it with peanut butter frosting!

Lovely and moist. I did a smaller version with half the amount of sugar but some extra chocolate, and served it with sour cream rather than icing, making it feel quite grown up!

This recipe makes a huge cake that was fantastic! It was moist and had the perfect texture. We loved the icing. (I reduced the sugar in the cake to 2 cups and used 4 squares of chocolate instead of 3.) It is THE BEST.

Cake is moist but is much too sweet - have to cut down the sugar on both cake and icing and it will be great.

I used this cake recipe for a large Groom's cake -it was completely gone, while 1/3 of the white wedding cake remained. 100 taste testers can't be wrong!

This cake is wonderful, and there aren't many kids that don't like chocolate. Next time I would leave out the carmel icing, much better cake without it.
