I loved this recipe. I used unsalted butter instead of shortening. It was chocolatey and delicious.

Excellent. This was easy to whip up and tastes great. I used 1/2 cup butter rather than shortening and added lemon to regular milk since I had no buttermilk. It turned out just like I wanted.

Wonderful cake. Easy to make. Light, moist and airy (all important qualities in a cake). New family favorite.

I am not typically a negative person, but I can find nothing good to say about this cake. The fact that the recipe only calls for a single egg should have been a clue to me that this would be more like a fudgy brownie than a cake. It was moist, but it was too dense. If you like airy, spongy cakes, this is NOT the cake for you.

This was so good. My three year old wanted cake the other night and I didn't have a cake mix so I searched and searched and decided to try this recipe. Everyone liked it. Thanks.

Really good, easy chocolate cake! I swapped a stick of unsalted butter for the shortening but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I topped it with a quick ganache made with of a couple of tablespoons each unsalted butter and heavy cream, 3 oz semi sweet chocoate and a tablespoon of rum and served it with fresh whipped cream. It was fabulous and I will definitely make it again - probably in a heart-shaped pan for valentine's day. Next time I'll use hot, strong coffee instead of water.

I followed this recipe exactly, and it turned out to be delicious. Instead of making a cake, I made cupcakes and iced them with "Chocolate Frosting III." I made them for both my husband and I to bring to work, and they were devoured! Everyone raved about them!

Very good cake and not difficult to make. Afterwards I topped with Paula's Whipped Cream recipe and added strawberries.
