I made this twice within two days. Once for cupcakes and again as a cake for a party. I wasn't impressed with the recipe after tasting the cupcakes. The cupcakes didn't seem to have much flavor, even a day later. I made the cake on Thursday, tasted some on Saturday for the party and still thought it was very bland. Now it's Sunday and I tried a few bites and thought it was improved. How weird is that? It seemed to take a couple of days for the flavor to take hold but I don't know why. Maybe with a more expensive brand of chocolate it would be better? So all in all I'd have to give this recipe three stars for ease of preparation but I can't rate it higher because I didn't feel like it had enough flavor overall.

It throws together in a jiff! I think I had this mixed up and in the oven in less than 10 minutes. I was a little disappointed with the flavor, I thought it could have been a little more chocolatly. Then again my husband thought it was great as is, and I am a self confessed chocoholic, so there is always room for more chocolate me!!

This cake is amazing! It's so easy and tastes so much better than a mix. I put raspberry jam in the middle and it was the perfect mix of flavors. I will definitely be making this again!

Incredibly fast and simple to make, perfectly moist and delicious. The recipe is resilient, too -- I added an extra tablespoon of cocoa, subtracted 1/4 cup of sugar, and substituted half whole-wheat flour, and it worked out great. Excellent with 7-minute frosting.

I've only just started cooking/baking more seriously about 3 months ago although I did dabble here and there before that. I would definitely rate myself a beginner and this cake was the first recipe I tried on the baking side. Everything turned out FABULOUS! I thought perhaps it was just beginners luck but I'm currently baking this for the third time in so many months and it comes out incredible every time. Everyone loves it and it's been a birthday request from several coworkers/friends. Thanks so much!

Absolutely delicious...a success every time!! Rich and moist and the only modification I have made is to increase the cocoa powder to 1 cup and use 1/2 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup coffee instead of the full cup boiling water

I've made this recipe, as posted, several times, and have received nothing but rave reviews. Melt-in-your-mouth chocolatey goodness at it's best. Yummy!

This is THE BEST chocolate cake recipe. Everyone raves about it, and it's SO simple! I made cupcakes with it, and baked them @325 for 15 minutes. I will not use another chocolate cake recipe, this one is "it" for me.

This is the best chocolate cake ever! I was a little nervous because I had to make it dairy-free (with a soy-butter chocolate frosting) and it turned out fabulous! It's the kind of cake that would be wonderful even without the frosting. And super easy to make. Thanks for the great recipe!

I made this cake back in the summer for a Friday night "family night". My 5 boys loved it, and devoured it! They loved it so much my 6 year old requested it for his birthday. I made a homemade frosting off the back of the Hershey's cocoa can & it made the cake even richer. It's very good with glass of ice cold milk. Thanks for sharing!

This was an awesome recipe! My fiancé said it was the best chocolate cake he had ever tasted. I made this for my birthday because I needed something to whip up quickly since company was coming in less than 2 hours. I did not even frost it, just ate it with whipped cream served on the side. Delicious!

Delicious! I added a shot of espresso and enough water to make 1 cup, but I might do two shots next time, I didnt really get the flavor. Still, the cake is very good. The batter is super thin though, I was worried. turned out fine.

this cake is really good! My brother can't get enough of it! it tastes even better after it cools down though. The only reason why i'm not giving it 5 stars is that i ran out of vanilla, so i didn't use it. I bet that it would taste even better with the vanilla. I'll review this recipe again after i make it again, with the vanilla.
