my family loved this cake. I skipped on the icing though, since my family prefers rich to sweet. They do love the slight cinnamon aftertaste. But we have a deep love for cinnamon. Skip on the cinnamon, if you don't. I made it a triple layer with chocolate cream cheese icing instead. Very different, and much more moist than any other chocolate cake I've made.

Wow, this cake turned out to be fantastic. It's very moist, with a very nice flavor. I made the following changes: 1. I completely skipped cinnamon and substituted butter for oil. 2. Added about 2 tbsp shavings of ghirardelli semisweet chocolate bar. 3. Used 1 3/4 cup of sugar instead of 2 cups. All in all this is a great chocolate cake. It's easy to make and you will be happy you made it.

Great birthday cake, nice and solid but not heavy. I "floured" the pans with cocoa, gave it a nice finish. Going in the recipe box for future birthday cakes.

I doubled the cinnamon in the recipe. My husband doesn't like cake without frosting, but I didn't have anything for it. So I just sprinkled brown sugar over it the cake when it was done. It didn't last very long. We loved it. I did have trouble with the 375 degrees, I bake mine at 350.

The frosting separated on me :( I think I did something very wrong there. (It separated after I put a drop of cold milk into the hot frosting? If anyone would care to explain. Either way, I'm never doing THAT again.) Cake was perfectly fine, used 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and a pinch more, flavor was very tasty. Anyone recommend another type of frosting for this cake?

This is awesome and very rich and moist. I omitted the cinnamon and pecans because we don't usually like them, but it didn't affect how good the recipe was. Thanks

WONDERFUL!! I was looking for a really good chocolate cake. I found it. I did use all butter and increased the cocoa to 1/2 cup. We ate it without icing! REALLY GOOD!!

This is A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y The Best Chocolate Cake Ever. Just like the title says. This is just like a recipe I had from when I was a kid. Making this brought me right back to my childhood...to a recipe that is irreplaceable. Thank You!! To everyone thinking about making this, you won't be sorry. I like to make it in a big jelly-roll pan, as I like the flatter version better. Don't be condemning about the cinnamon-that's what helps make this recipe. You don't taste it right up front, but it helps bring out the chocolate flavor even more! A#1

I am torn. The cake was delicious and super moist. Almost too moist. I don't know what happened but I could not get it out of the pan, it just fell apart, it was very sticky on the top. I used 2 9-inch round non-stick pan from the pampered chef. I had to piece it together and slather it with frosting to hide that fact. Any suggestions as to why it fell apart on me? It tasted good though. I used a maple cream cheese frosting instead.

I made this cake because I looked and looked for a chocolate cake recipe that was made with cocoa powder instead of baker's chocolate or chocolate chips. I did not add the cinnamon (maybe I'll try it next time though). I just totally left it out. I also didn't bake this in a 9x13, instead I used 3-8'' cake pans. It did cook in the 20 minutes, which surprised me, since the batter was so liquidy. The layers came out a little thin, but that's to be expected when using 3 pans instead of 2. The cake is soft and moist. I really like it. I frosted it with "Chocolate Cookie Buttercream Frosting" (a double recipe) found on AllRecipes. It turned out great!

Definitely NOT for the Chocolate lover. The cinnamon threw it off and there was very little chocolate taste. Even my 4-year old wouldn't finish her piece off.

I halfed the amount of cinnamon, and I wish that I would have added more cocoa powder to the cake mix. I added a little more to the frosting and it was great! I cut holes in the cake before pouring the frosting over. I only used 3 cups of sugar in the frosting, it was perfect! I will make this again, but next time I'll add more chocolate!

This was a delicious, easy-to-make cake. I don't even like chocolate cake, so I can say that this was the best chocolate cake I ever ate. The frosting has a fudgy texture which I enjoyed much more than overly sugary birthday cake frosting. The batter was very runny and I had to bake it an extra 5 minutes or so for it to set in the middle. I like that you don't have to wait to frost it. I wasn't sure it that would work but it did. The frosting sets quickly. This was a hit!

I followed the recipe exactly and for some reason it had a very funny smell--actually nauseating, so I checked to see if any of the ingredients I put in there were bad, and nothing was, so I don't know if that stench is normal. I never even cooked it.
