The reviewer gave this recipe 3 stars. This recipe averages a 4.73 star rating.

This recipe was only ok for me. I'm glad that people said the batter was thin, because I would have thought I really messed up! It was pretty good the first time, but I made this cake a second time and I actually found that it tasted pretty bland. It was't very sweet or chocolatey. Maybe next time I will add the coffee instead of water like other people had suggested.

This was the best chocolate cake from scratch I have ever had. Usually scratch cakes I find are dry but this was moist and not ridiculously sweet. I did not change a thing and would never. I used a cream cheese frosting recipe and unfortunatly can not stop eating this cake!

Fabulous! Friends loved it! But yes, it IS just the recipe on the Hershey's cocoa tin, NOT an original recipe!

Very moist cake. I substituted apple sauce for the oil and it was great! Who needs boxed cakes! Thanks for the recipe!

this was REALLY easy abd REALLY good! I am a terrible baker, but i couldn't mess this up! I used diluted coffe in place of water and a full cup of cocoa powder....yum! 1 hour in a bundt pan. Chocolate glaze: mix cocoa, powdered sugar and a little milk until desired consistency. drizzle over cooled cake!

Everyone loved this delicious, moist chocolate cake! I used rice milk instead of cows milk to make it dairy free.

I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. It was very airy and light (not dense), which is exactly what I wanted. I added choc chips after I poured the batter and they sank to the bottom. Next time, I will add them after the batter has thickened a little.

I just made this cake for my sister and laws reception. It was delicious! And easy. Only problem was that it boiled over the pan while cooking (even after we only filled the pans half way). Totally worth it.

This cake is SO delicious! It was my first attempt at a cake not from a box, and I will never go back - especially because I can control the ingredients - no hydrogenated oils or weird preservatives! I baked it in a 9x13 pan for 35 minutes and it turned out great!

Really yummy and moist. I made a 9x13 cake and baked for about 40 minutes. I frosted it with "Vanilla - Chocolate Powdered Sugar Frosting" from this site. They paired really well. Thanks for the great recipe! :)

OMG, this is awesome and so easy. I even lowered the fat by using 1/4 cup applesause and 1/4 cup oil instead of 1/2 cup oil. Also this is so sweet and moist you don't even need frosting, I just baked mine in a bundt pan for 35 min and dusted with powdered sugar. Tasted and looked great.

Everything about this cake is a 5, except for the assembly of it. That was my only concern. I always make absolutely sure not to over mix my batters, but when this one said to just dump everything in one bowl i was nervous about how "light" it would turn out. While it was dense and moist, it was a little too "compact" for my taste. However I will definately make again, but next time I will start with a creaming method and sift the dry ingredients. (I filled mine with a choc. pudding layer, then frosted...soooo good!)

Oh my goodness this cake was sooo moist! For some reason, it seems to taste even better the next day. Maybe it picks up some of the moisture from the frosting. I've made this more than once and have halved the recipe without a problem. Fantastic!
