I made a 6 serving size of this recipe to make 13 cupcakes for my son's 8th birthday. Used Pastry chef "ZZZORBA" suggestion and replaced 1/2 of the water for Buttermilk. You will need some of the boiling water to mix with the cocoa powder, let it cool then add your buttermilk. Half of the above recipe made about 13 cupcakes which I baked for about 15 minutes @ 350. We will be enjoying this recipe for many special events to come!

I had to make a last minute cake for my grandson. Of course, it had to be chocolate. So I decided to cut the recipe in half and make cupcakes. The only thing I changed was I added 1 cup of sour cream ( sour cream makes it light and fluffy). It turned out wonderful!

Fantastic! I used this as my Wedding Cake, layered with some yummy chocolate mocha mousse. We baked and frosted it a day and a half before and it was still rich and moist when we cut into it at the wedding. So Good!

Wonderful, wonderful, cake! Comes out perfectly if you let the first mixture cool and are sure to beat the eggs in well. Scaled it down to a one- layer cake, iced with dark chocolate fudge icing and added fondant. Doesn't have the bitter taste that is sometimes associated with dark chocolate. Delicious!

Fail proof yummy. I got it backwards! I put the sugar and flour together (all the dry ingredients, in one bowl) when I realized what I did, I just plowed on through. I mixed the wet and combined them and said a little prayer, and the cake was heavenly!!!
