I made this for a friends birthday. I cut the recipe in half for a one-layer cake, added some chocolate chips, a dollop of mayonnaise, and used home-made chocolate frosting. everyone loved it!! my one complaint is that it stuck to the pan, which is most likely due to the chocolate chips I used. I'm cooking it again right now, and I'm going to try adding the chocolate chips after a few minutes of baking since the batter is so thin. anyway, this will definitely be the recipe I use for chocolate cake going forward. love it!!

This recipe is amazing. It turned out perfect! Separated from the pan with ease and was really moist and dense. I'll definitely be making this one again. It goes GREAT with the Taste of Home frosting recipe on this site: "Rich Chocolate Frosting" submitted by Amy Via.

Made this exactly as stated. They weren't kidding when it says the batter will be runny after adding the boiling water. I'm glad I saw that or I would have been worried. I put a mug of water in the microwave for 2 minutes for the boiling water. Whether or not it boiled I have no idea as I didn't watch it but it was hot enough. This cake was amazing. Very spongy and airy and light. Definitely make sure to grease the pan(s) enough. I used a bundt pan and it worked perfectly. Also make sure to let it cool for the 10 minutes- otherwise it may not come out of the pan completely. I will never again buy cake mix (thank goodness!) from a box again! Very quick and easy to make! Thanks ever so much!

I bake. I bake a lot. I followed the recipe exactly and I was a little concerned at how thin the batter was. I made this into cupcakes. It made 27 cupcakes. 27 cupcakes that I only filled 2/3 full but they still overflowed and ran flat onto the top of my muffin tins and then stuck there. I had to tear the tops off which makes for pretty fugly cupcakes. They taste alright, but the edges of the tops were a little chewy where they overflowed. I usually make "Barb's Chocolate Cake" off this site and that one rocks, so I don't know why I deviated. Oh well. I made some kick butt white chocolate mint frosting though! I'm going to post that recipe. It's deee-lish on chocolate cupcakes.

Love, love, love this. Only 4 stars because I altered it. 1 C. coco powder, butter instead of oil and 1 T. instant coffee. So YUM!

OMG..... We loved this cake, my friend from Germany came in so I made it for her. And we devoured it. And my husband said this is the only cake he will eat from now on! I did use a cup of cocoa and sifted all my dry ingredients. The buttercream icing goes great with this....

With just slight variations, this recipe is much like "Black Magic Cake," which I found I prefer. It is not quite as dense or as fudgy as this one. This is a deep, dark chocolate cake, but it was almost TOO moist,TOO dense. Don't know what really accounts for the difference since the recipes are so similar, and maybe it's just a matter of personal preference, but while this was a very good cake, I'll stick with the other.

This cake was very good and very moist! Make sure to spray cake pans very well to keep the cake from sticking! Went great with buttercream frosting.

WONDERFUL! This is going to be the only chocolate cake that I make from now on. I would suggest using one cup of coco powder instead of three-fourths though.

When I first made this cake my family loved it, but it seemed way too oily for me. However, like a previous reviewer mentioned if you let it sit a day or two it gets much better. This is a great cake if you are looking for something easy and fast to make, but I recommend it more if you can let it sit a day. Makes really good cupcakes too.

I absolutely LOVE this recipe. I've made this cake several times, and each time it came out delicious! I followed recommendations to make it 1 cup of cocoa and used Ghiradelli cocoa powder and it is fantastic. It's very moist and chocolatey. The first few times I used duncan hines frostings but I've also used a buttercream frosting and it tastes amazing. I also made this cake with a strawberry filling and covered it with chocolate ganache and it turned out absolutely gorgeous and delicious!The most recent time I made them, I made mini cupcakes and baked them for 13 minutes at 350. Half the batter is enough to make a little over 36 of them but make sure to fill it up ONLY 3/4 of the way because they rise a lot! Thanks for this recipe! Absolutely amazing!! :)

The cake is awesome. It's easier than making a box cake and it turns out rich, moist, and delicious every time. I bake mine in two medium spingform pans for about 45 minutes. You can substitute strong, HOT coffee for the boiling water for a richer flavor. I've also made cupcakes in two 12-cupcake pans and bake them for 25 minutes. Next time I'm going to try and add 1 cup cocoa. :)
