Absolutely one of my favorite desserts - easy to mix and comes out great every time! This time I used Special Dark cocoa. SO good...

We loved the flavor of this cake, but there was WAY too much sauce for out taste. I added a pinch of cinnamon to the cake mix, & coffee for the liquid. Flavor was great , but next time I'll cut back on the amount of sauce ingredients, & also use less liquid so it will be thicker. Don't even think about serving this w/out vanilla ice cream!

I found this recipe in a magazine and just thought I'd see if it was on Allrecipes, and here it is! I made it twice in 3 days because we wanted more after the first was gone, and there is only 2 of us in our house! Terrible, I know...it tastes great but it's very sweet. I have no idea why they say it is not overly sweet because it is! Serving warm topped with vanilla ice cream is a must!

When I read Leazer's review "No Flavor But Sweet" - I was confused. But, then I made it and tasted it...Now it all makes sense. Weird texture, flavor is just "hot sugar" not "hot fudge". (I even cut the white sugar to 1/2 cup) I'd say if you want something in this vein, make some of your favorite brownies and coat those with hot fudge sauce.

It baked up ok and was an easy recipe. I just thought it tasted like straight sugar - there wasn't really any other flavors and I wasn't crazy about the texture. I'll probably make it again, but only because my boyfriend loves it :)

I made this cake as a Christmas dessert and everybody loved it! I made this 'cake' two times, ones in a small oven and once in a big oven. The first time it came out cake-like with much chocolate. The second time it wasn't all that 'caky' en there was less chocolate 'cake'. I liked the second one better and my whole family loved it. Pity that the second time there was less chocolate...

AWESOME!! My husband loved it. It is also good for a naughty breakfast the next day. The serving size is way off. I would say it is 6-8 servings. Other than that, I am going to make it again!

Well this recipe brought me back to my childhood. My mom used to make one almost identical to this quite often. I'd give it 5 stars just for the simplicity of this dessert, but I thought it was a bit on the too sweet side. Oddly, the children didn't like it too much, but the adults did? When I make it again I think I'll cut back on some of the sugar and try to come closer to duplicating the one I grew up with. Thank you for the recipe.

The cake-with-sauce idea was kind of cool, but no one in my house liked the way it tasted.

There are not many chocolate recipes that I don't care for, but this one was not what I expected. Not much flavor other than sweet.

An Excellent and easy 'all the ingredients are handy' recipe for those who need a chocolate fix. One thing to note though is that I added a bit more milk to make the batter smoother and easier to stir.

I did not care for this recipe. It was not exciting. The pudding on top took a long time to set. Will not make this again

I love this dessert. I grew up with my Mom making it a lot. We called it chocolate pudding cake, back in the day. We used to pour canned milk over it when we were kids. Now I like whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
