Our teenage kids loved it! I added milk chocolate chips which made it super moist and deliciously rich. Definitely a hit in our house. And, they normally are not big sweet eaters.

This was a simple recipe that sounded good but I thought it lacked chocolate flavor. In addition, it has a tough exterior crust. This is not a tender cake nor flavorful. I would not bake this cake again.

I don't like chocolate cake but made this at the birthday boy's request... and LOVED it! Everyone raved at how moist and flavourful it was. Wouldn't change a thing!

This was pretty good. I would have liked to add more chocolate to the batter next time. I also stopped adding the water because the batter looked like it was getting to thin. I had about 1/4 cup left. Frosted it with white buttercream... Thanks

I love this cake!! The texture is what gets me the most, it's wonderful. This is not a rich chocolate cake with strong chocolate flavor, it's very mild. I followed the recipe exact, baked for the 40 mins. and it was perfect. I will definitely make this again, I do think that frosting this with a rich chocolate frosting will take away from the mildnes in this cake, compete too much with the flavor. I used Rick's Special Buttercream Frosting from the site and it really complimented the cake. Thanks for the recipe (:

I made this for a teacher luncheon and the plate was licked clean. Very Good!

I was planning this cake for my husband's birthday, but boy, am I glad I tried it out before the big day. This cake was not flavorful at all--and way too little chocolate to call it a chocolate cake. My husband hated it.

I have been baking this cake for my great nieces birthday for about five or six years it's her choice every year.On the second year the pan was a bit to big for a double batch and it came out like a brownie,the best brownies we ever had!

My family really enjoys this cake. My wife is not able to have sugar, so I substitute 1 cup of Splenda(R) and 2/3 cup of honey for the sugar. I also use cocoa powder as the substitute for the melted chocolate. Works out great and my wife enjoys having a dessert she can eat.
