Good basic chocolate cake and not hard to make either, my husband made the cake into cupcakes with my 3 year old son. Thanks for this as it will be our rainy sunday cake recipe!

I made this cake as a groom's cake and the entire crowd was just blown away by this cake. It's fabulous!

Oh my, what a cake! My boyfriend, who doesn't like cakes ate it all up and said it was the best chocolate cake I have ever made! I used 2x8" round tins and baked the cakes for 25-30mins. I used 1 cup of cocoa and 100g choc chips. What a delicious cake! It tastes better the longer you keep it, so best to cook 1-2 days in advance. Tastes so moist, like choc brownies.

This recipe was SO delicious, fast, and easy to make. I woudn't change a thing to it other than i would recommend having a very well greased pan and waiting for it to cool first before taking it out! Other that that, i would make this recipe again in a heartbeat.

This is a fantastic cake. I found it, too, on the back of the Hershey's cocoa box, but (this is cool) if you 1/2 the recipe, use buttermilk instead of milk, put it in a 8x8 or larger corningware dish that's been sprayed with non-stick spray and microwave it uncovered for 6 minutes on high or until it loses its shine on top and then cool it in the freezer (if you have room) and you can have a really good chocolate cake (moistest I've ever had) in less than 30 minutes (if you cool it in the freezer). Excellent with just about any icing and very good plain, too.

I increased the cocoa powder to 1 cup as some of the reviewers recommended and used one of the butter/ confectioner sugar/cocoa based frostings from this site. Very good and beats a box mix in the same time. Nice!

This cake is so moist! I followed the recipe just as stated and used chocolate cookie buttercream frosting from this site as well. What a great cake--got lots of compliments and recipe requests from my family.

I followed the recipe carefully and it was perfect! I made individual cakes instead of a big one. Make sure that your mold(s) is well buttered and coated.

Didn't care for this. *However*...my 10 yr old - who's pretty good in the kitchen - made this...*and* we didn't have vanilla of all things! Oh well. We will try this again and hopefully I'll have better things to say :)

Okay kids, I am a choc-a-holic, so I put a little more cocoa powder than requested. It was delish!! My husband doesn't even like cake, and he gobbled it right up. I crave this now, and have to fight not making a new one every week. I agree with previous comments, though. Try some parchment paper, as it is a little sticky.

Note: if your deciding between this recipe and one bowl chocolate cake III, they are exactly the same. I gave it 4 stars because I wasn't very impressed when I made it, but as someone else mentioned it is better the next day and best on the 3rd day. Day 3 it is 5 stars for sure. Great cake to make ahead of time for parties when you have lots of other stuff to make, since it is best on it's 3rd day. Thanks for this great recipe. Also, just to warn you, it looks ready before the boiling water and you therefore might forget it, just a note to keep in mind.

This is the recipe we refer to in my family as "THE chocolate cake." I have been making it for years: my sister won't have any other cake for her birthday, my daughter has to have this cake made into cupcakes for any school party, and my niece won't touch another chocolate cake! How's that for a review? I always line my cake pans with parchment, though, as this cake can sometimes stick to the pan.

Awesome! Followed recipe exactly and came out dark and chocolaty. Was a little fragile and a piece broke off when I was removing it from pan, but I fixed it with frosting and it was delicious.
