I was asked to make a chocolate cake for a house warming party and to my chagrin I was out of chocolate cake mix. In searching for recipes from scratch I tumbled across this one and I'm so glad I did! I had to double the recipe and didn't want to open another bag of brown sugar for two cups but I had about 2 cups of applesauce left in a jar so I dumped it in. I also only had about half of the sour cream I needed but I dumped that in and it still turned out fantastic despite the changes I made! I will have to try it again when I have everything I need because the things I skimped on could only make it better!

Loved this recipe. I'm so glad I insisted on making the pie instead of letting my parents buy it from Costco! Great recipe!

This frosting tastes delicious, but my icing was extremely runny. In order to stiffen it up enough to decorate a cake without the icing pooling around the bottom I had to use 3 lbs of powdered sugar.
