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.

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!! :)

This turned out perfectly and was very simple to make. My only complaint is that it tasted too much like cake from a mix.

I dont usually rate recipes but I had to with this one. This cake was FANTASTIC! Super moist and chocolaty. Like other reviewers, I used a full cup of cocoa and it came out perfect.

The only change I made was making this cake with specialty dark chocolate and 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of boiling water. It is so delicious....my family loves this recipe! Mmmmmmmmm.... I make it all the time.

I upped the cocoa powder to 1 cup as suggested by other reviewers and that's the only change I made--delicious! Yum, yum, yum! This was perfect! Not too sweet, moist, and super easy! I will definitely make this over and over again. Thank you!

Incredible! I used 1 cup of cocoa as suggested by another review! Awesome. Just took a small bite, not even frosted yet! Might just sprinkle it with powdered sugar...that's how good it is!!

I made this for a birthday party one day before. It was very moist the next day and was the first cake to be devoured. I did add the mini choc. chips to the top and it was perfect...a keeper. I will make this again...soon.

I was just reminded of this Hershey's recipe when searching the site for a quick dessert. I have it in my own recipe file but hadn't made it in a long time. I made a couple of changes this time: used buttermilk (because I had it on hand) and baked in a 13X9 pan for about 40 minutes. Wonderful, no frosting required. Served with sliced berries and vanilla ice cream. Guests enjoyed it and had no clue how easy it was. This is a keeper.

Instead of cake, I made cupcakes! The recipe was easy and made tasty cupcakes, but they were too moist/wet. I would make this again, but just add less boiling water. Also, I followed the advice of another reviewer and increased the cocoa a bit.

This cake was definitely as easy as it claimed to be. I made this for the bottom tier of a three tier wedding cake. I used different liquors in each cake, and in this one, instead of vanilla, I used a little more then a tablespoon of Kahlua. It was very moist, and sturdy, as well. Thanks for the recipe!

I used 1 cup of cocoa powder, as suggested by other reviewers. The cake was very rich.. maybe a little too rich. Otherwises, it was very good. A little too soft and crumbly.

this cake was incredibly easy, so it scores mega points for me - my two and a half year old did all of the measuring and stirring, if that says anything. i thought it tasted good, not great. it has a similar texture and flavor to a boxed mix. not that that is a bad thing, i just think that a cake from scratch should be a bit richer than what you would buy in a box. i frosted it with a butterscotch frosting and i loved the combination.

Delicious and moist! I used a 9 x 13 pan and baked it for 40 minutes. A few alterations I made: used brewed coffee in place of the water, and substituted 3 tablespoons of black cocoa powder for 3 of the tablespoons of regular cocoa powder (gives chocolate flavor more depth). Amazing with caramel frosting!
