Made exactly as directed. It tasted fine, but not spectacular. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This is one of the first recipes I made since visiting this website in 2006. It is easy to make and delicious. My family along with coworkers just love it! I, as with other readers, sprinkle sifted 10X sugar to dress it up. I can always count on allrecipes.com when I am looking for ideas; whether it is a new recipe or one of the many I come back to all the time - like this one!

By far and away the easiest cake I've made! I usually don't change a thing although I've been making this for a couple of years, but I'll try the applesauce substitution, maybe the coffee. I've made this for 2 of my daughters' birthday parties each year and they like me to dip strawberries in chocolate and arrange them around the cake and also in the middle (they call this the "bundt hole.") I use a couple of different glazes, regular chocolate and white chocolate. I live at a high altitude and it's come out perfect every time without any changes to it. You just can't mess up this recipe!

This recipe was delicious. I didn’t have chocolate pudding, so I used vanilla. I also used 1/2 cup of applesauce instead of oil. It was so moist and while it was still warm we dished it out (not frosted) and ate with several scoops of ice cream. WONDERFUL!

A great recipe! I used chocolate chunks instead of chips for a more textured cake.

I was looking for a good cake with no frosting since the boyfriend doesn't like it, and this was excellent. I used butter cake mix, vanilla pudding, and an entire package of semi-sweet chocolate chips. The only changes I made were that I used a sheet cake pan and coated the chips in flour before mixing them in so that they wouldn't sink to the bottom. This tasted like a giant moist chocolate chip cookie! Thank you so much this was incredibly easy and everyone loved it!

I've made this twice,once for someone's birthday and once for a baby shower, and everyone LOVED it! It was so moist and very chocolaty. Both times I made it in a big sheet pan, and it is a great recipe for decorative cakes because it is so dense and heavy. I used regular chocolate chips the first time and mini ones the second, and I think the regular ones make give it a better texture. This cake is awesome and I will definitely use it again.

I have made cakes like this before, so I am familiar with the formula. I agree with naples34102 that a whole cup of vegetable oil was unnecessary. I did use a melted stick of butter and double-brewed coffee in place of the water called for. I didn't have mini-chips, but I did have regular semi-sweet. This cake was not easy to just pour into the bundt pan, I had to scoop it with my spatula and then even/smooth it out. This took darn near an hour and a half to bake, covered a little over halfway through to keep the top and sides from burning. This is a gift for my husband's family-I'm sure they'll love it. NOTE: HUGE HIT. This was so moist and just chocolatey. This is a keeper.

This is one of the best tasting chocolate cakes I have ever made..definitely the fastest. I usually don't like the taste of box mixes but with all the additions it you cant tell its a box at all. Next time I will sub the oil for applesauce and light sour cream to make it a little healthier. If you like light moist cakes this is the one for you!

I made this cake for the 3rd or fourth time today and I think I finally got it right! After viewing other comments here are the changes I made: Yellow cake mix and vanilla pudding mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup cold coffee instead of the water, and 1/2 cup sour cream. The cake looked great and tasted even better! It had just a little bit of a tasty brown crust, and was soooo moist. The dusting of powdered sugar was just the right touch. Thank you Lisa!!

It was OK, I'm still searching for a more chocolate tasting cake. I subbed apple sauce for the oil. My family is not going back for seconds, so that tells me they are not impressed either, I am eating it all myself. I probably won't make this one again.

Sweet! Subbed with 1/2 cup veggie oil, 1/2 cup coffee (in place of the hot water), and added 1 tbsp. Mint extract per recipe. I made 75 cupcakes for my daughter's slumber party, and my e-mail's been swamped with requests from parents and teachers ever since! Stay creative, no frosting needed, fork optional!

This recipe was a hit with all of my family and friends. My 17 year old son loved it and ask for more which is rare. I followed the recipe to the tee except adding all of the chocolate chips and I baked it in a 9x13 pan. I sprinkled with powdered sugar and added a dab of cool whip when serving. It was great several people ask me for the recipe. This is a keeper.

I made this cake following the recipe to a T-well I can't say to a T because I used a whole bag of milk chocolate chips. And I also made the cake using the suggestion of using only a 1/2 of oil. The cake using 1 cup of oil was more moist then only using 1/2 c of oil. The cake with only a 1/2 c of oil was a little more dense. This is a keeper-following the recipe to a T.
