This cake is delicious! Contrary to some reviews here, our cake is not dry at all, it's so soft and yummy. I did some changes though. Because we only had large sized eggs in the refrigerator, then I took only 4 pieces. I also reduced the sugar a little bit, and used full-grain flour. My husband like it and we find it perfect. Der Kuchen ist einfach so lecker! Vielen Dank für das Rezept!

The taste was OK but nothing spectacular. I followed the recipe exactly but it just did not have the taste I expected. I will not try this one again.

This was really good, after following the directions I got the smoothest cake. The texture was fantastic, but mine was pretty dry. The recipe is good enough that I'll probably try making it again, the dryness may have been due to my error.

I've made this cake about 6 or 7 times now & it turns out better every time I do it! Perfect for birthday parties for young & those of us slightly older!?!

Very good cake. For the reviewer who said it is very dry, that is how the German cakes (kuchen) bake. My German MIL bakes home made cakes all the time, this is how they come out. Thanks for the recipe.

Very yummy! Not dry at all. I changed a few things. I lessened the flour to 3 cups, added 1 tsp. vanilla and added 1 more tbsp. baking cocoa. I didn't mix it for 10 minutes, I just watched until it turned lighter coloured. I used a bundt pan, greased and floured it. Baked it for 50 minutes. No problem coming out of the pan. Added a dusting of powdered sugar. Very similar to my mom's but this one wasn't dry :) Absolutely will make again.

The cake from this recipe is dry,not so sweet and I can taste the eggs,(Yuck) perhaps if it had other ingredients like chocolate chips, something sweet, or even a glaze over the top to liven it up some, this recipe might be a bit better. As another reviewer mentioned,I also had a VERY hard time getting it out of my pan.

This cake is on the dry side and I even took it out of the oven after only 40 minutes of cooking (my oven doesn't run hot either). Definitely add vanilla to white batter, I added 1/2 tablespoon and it was still on the bland side for me. I give it 3 stars because it stepped-up with the strawberries and whipped cream served on top. Won't be making again though....

I made this cake for my husband's birthday. I put the Easy Chocolate Bundt Cake Glaze over it (also from this site)and some pecans over the top. My husband liked it. I thought it was a little on the dry side but still good. I'll make it again. Thanks!

This recipe is definitely a keeper. A very light an fluffy cake. I added vanilla extract to the white batter and unsweetened cocoa powder to chocolate batter to taste because I wanted more flavor, but the texture of the cake is perfect.

This is an easy, gorgeous cake. I put a little extra cocoa in and used self-raising flour instead of all purpose and baking powder. I also added a little vanilla extract. The only problem I had was getting it out of my bundt tin!

This recipe is really easy and delicious! I would either add vanilla extract or grated lemon to give the yellow part of the cake more flavor.

This cake was very easy to make and it was delicious. I wou;d add some orange or lemon oil in order to make the taste of the none chocolate dough more interesting. Thumbs up for this one!
