Excellent! Light airy and a little piece of heaven. Serve with whipping cream, berries, dust it with cocoa and powdered sugar, make a nice chocolate glaze, or just cut a piece and enjoy. This will go into our favorites to be used again and again.

Very good cake, but too much batter for my 10 in. pan. It rose up over the top and by the time it was cooked through the bottom was burned (mostly my inexperience) Not an easy recipe, but I will try it again

This recipe is not very easy considering this is the first cake I've ever made from scratch. It took a little over 2 hours for me to make. However, it turned out to be absolutely delicious! The outside is a little crunchy but that is probably because I am still getting used to my oven. It is very moist inside the crunchy part though. Definitely going to make this cake again!

Whether you call it a pound cake or a chocolate cake or whatever, this cake is so good. I followed the recipe exactly except for the baking time. I baked it for 1 hour. It probably could have been taken out of the oven a little sooner, but it was still very moist and delicious. It didn't need a topping though I made one with white chocolate using what I had on hand, and it turned out good. My family gobbled it up.

This is an amazing recipe. Very easy. The family loved it. I think adding the whipped egg whites last make the difference in this cake. So good!

I was very disappointed with this recipe. The recipe sounded delicious and it smelled so wonderful when it was baking but it was not what I expected at all. I had read the reviews before baking and some people thought it wasn't very chocolatey so I added more cocoa powder. That didn't help. The texture was great, not too dense. but I don't know if I would try this recipe again.

This cake took some time to put together. Came out of the oven smelling really good. Pros: moist, loved the cinnamon. Cons: too sweet, not alot of chocolate taste. Would probably make this again with some modifications.
