This was not the most wonderful chocolate cake ever, but pretty darn good, and easy. I can taste a hint of the baking soda, but my husband didn't notice it. It's nice and big -- rose to fill the 9X13 pan, and had a nice texture. I suspect the people who had problems with it were possibly in high altitude areas, which would require some adjustments to any cake recipe. I'm near sea level. I'd bake it again.

I made this for my husbands birthday and it is the best chocolate cake I have ever made! I followed the recipe exactly.

very nice, made it in a swiss roll tin (too fiddly doing 2 tins) did as recommended and left until the next day. My only gripe is that it didn't rise much at all! More of a brownie consistancy. If i wanted brownies, I'd make brownies. If you want a heavy chocolate cake this si the one for you. Don't be put off by the thick almost lumpy consistancy of the mix, it is correct.

This is a very good chocolate cake. I had to cook it for at least 45 minutes. Don't worry if it seems too thin after mixing in the water. It turned out wonderful!!!

Good and easy. Nice flavour without being overly rich! I had to keep this in the fridge due to the frosting and the consistency of the cake wasn't great this way.

This recipe is awesome! Very easy for an neophyte baker like myself, also absolutely delicious and long lasting. I've never tasted a better chocolate cake and it's only the second one I ever baked myself. I added a frosting but it's not neccesary.

This cake is soooooo moist. The batter looked like pudding. It was so delicious.

This is still my all-time favorite chocolate cake! It has never failed me and always gets raves! The chocolate flavor is directly proportional to the quality of cocoa powder used.
