This recipe is identical to the other one on Allrecipes called Extreme Chocolate Cake. The only difference is that the Extreme Chocolate Cake recipe also has a recipe for frosting. I didn't want that frosting, so I just printed out this recipe. I'm glad I did. I reduced the sugar by about 1/4 to 1/2 a cup and it still tasted heavenly. The batter is so easy to put together, the directions are easy, and nothing was confusing. I baked for 33 minutes, but the bottoms of my cake layers were still a bit gooey. I suggest the entire 35 minutes. I used a bit of cream cheese for the frosting, due to what was available in the fridge. I noted that I wanted more frosting while eating the cake. A good two to three cups of frosting would make this cake a masterpiece complete.

Simple, delicious, forgiving, reliable. I am always shocked by how watery it looks and worry that it's going to be a complete train-wreck, but it rises and bakes up perfectly every time.

I followed all of the directions to a T. It fell in the middle and got a hard crunchy top on it. It still has a very good taste!

I didn't get to taste it--made cupcakes for a cupcake walk--but my children who did raved about it, and keep asking me to make more. The batter flavor and consistency reminds me of my favorite chocolate sheet cake recipe. I used it with the Chocolate Cookie Buttercream Frosting from Allrecipes--minus the cocoa--and I can vouch that the frosting was delicious! :-)

I could not believe how moist this cake was. I doubled the recipe and made it in a sheet pan for a work birthday party and the entire thing was gone in 30 minutes. I covered it in "Rich Chocolate frosting" from this site and everyone loved it. The only change I made was using buttermilk in place of the milk, which I think made the cake even richer and more delicious. I will definitely be trying this one again.

This is the best chocolate cake!! The only thing I change is to use Hershey's Special Dark cocoa instead of regular cocoa. I always frost the cake with "chocolate frosting 1 by Tianne" from this site and everyone loves it!

This is probably the best chocolate cake I have ever eaten. The only thing is that it's almost too moist. I adde more flour, and had it in the oven for another 10 minutes, I don't know if it was because I halfed the recipe. 5 starts anyway, if someone can give me some advide about frostings/fillings to this cake..I would be glad to know.

This cake was easy to make, smelled amazing, and tasted great too! I did make a couple of changes. I substituted the vegetable oil for butter. Since I didn't have unsweetened cocoa power I used Swiss Miss No Sugar Added (6 packets to be exact). And finally, I added one bar (about 1 teaspoon) of shredded unsweetened chocolate pieces. The cake turned out to be very moist, sticky, and chocolatey.

Wow, I am not the biggest chocolate cake fan, but my friend is, so I looked for a recipe that would be tasty -- an hopefully better than a box mix. This recipe was IT! I thought it had wonderful flavor and was very moist with a nice, rich dark color. I used regular Hershay's cocoa, and everyone said "Oh, you must have used expensive, fancy chocolate". Will definitely make again. I used "Rich Chocolate Frosting" from this site and it went great together (I made 1/2 the recipe because I made a raspberry filling to put between the layers), and it was plenty to frost and pipe a couple of rows of shells. ENJOY!

WOW! What a delicious moist cake--and it was sooo simple too! (No more boxed cake mixes needed.) As suggested by others, I increased the cocoa to 1 cup & added a little instant coffee to the water. Also, replaced half the oil w/ applesauce. Excellent & definitely a keeper!

So easy to make and also very forgiving. I wasn't paying attention to the amount of water and added 2 cups of water by mistake. I decided to bake it anyways and see what happened. Poured it into a bundt pan and it turned out perfect! I will make this again, but be sure to double check ingredient amounts:)

So nice to have the moisture of the boxed cake without the list of 50 ingredients. :) Very moist and yummy and so great that it's just in one bowl!

easy and delicious but trust me when I say it needs more cocoa I added a whole cup the second time because the first time it was so moist and delicious but needed more cocoa flavor. Maybe it's the brand I add but ADD MORE COCOA!

this cake blew my mind. i'm always thinking the more 'sophisticated' recipe will yield the most delectable result but i can fold in all the egg whites i want, when it comes to the perfect cake, this is it. so springy, so moist, everything about it screams sensation. it's my 'go to' cake from now on. making it tomorrow as a last minute request because it comes together so quickly it's worth the effort to be able to say, 'o, yeah. i made that from scratch.'
