WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR!!! If I make these again I would definitely half the sugar. I'm sticking with the Quaker recipe.

I made this cake for our 4th of July family get-together. It is the best chocolate cake I have ever made or eaten!! I read the reviews about the cinnamon being overpowering so I omitted it. I also read about the batter being too thin so I changed the water amount to 3/4 cup instead of a whole cup. The recipe called for a 9x13 pan but I was looking for a true sheet cake to feed a crowd so I made it in a 15x10 sheet pan--it's also better for the delicious icing because it would have been too thick on a 9x13 cake. The only thing I would do different next time is maybe add another chocolate square to the cake mix--it was just a little short of being chocolatey enough for me. I will be making this forever! It will replace all my chocolate cake recipes in the future.
