Tried this recipe exactly as is, overall pretty good - think next time I will use chocolate cake mix instead of yellow and probably skip the chips. Super moist like everyone has noted in earlier reviews and super easy too.

Wonderful cake - super moist!! My husband added a rum glaze that absorbed into the cake which gave it an excellent flavor and made it even moister - delicious!!!

It was pretty good. Very moist. Not really a dump cake, though, because you mix and fold ingredients just like any other cake.

Great cake. I usually don't change recipes but I was out of a few items and didn't realize it until I had begun making the cake. So just for the record, you can use mayo for sour cream. I only had 1/2 cup of sour cream so I added 1/2 cup of mayonaisse to take the place. I also only had 2 eggs so that is the amount I used. Finally, I had one pack of sugar free chocolate pudding and used it insead of the larger regular pack. I added a cream cheese icing by softening the cream cheese in the microwave and mixing it with powdered sugar and a little vanilla. The cake was so good, I am afraid to make it again using the ingredients called for. My mom said it couldn't get any better.

Yummy rich Chocolate cake. This was a big cake so I cut it in half and my husband took the other half to work and he said it was gone in minutes.

This cake was absolutel one of the best cakes I've ever eaten! I didn't add the chocolate chips but made no other altercations except I used a white cake mix instead of yellow and added 1/4 cup of coca powder. It was gone in 2 days A definate keeper. We esp. liked the wonderful crust on it!

This was absolutely delicious...a mild rich chocolate flavor with little chocolate chip surprises. A very moist cake... It doesn't need frosting, but I'm sure a scoop of ice cream with it will be excellent.

very easy recipe, can whip it up in a snap! I used slightly less oil (I ran out) and it didn't seem to affect the test. Based on previous reviews, I also used less sugar, 1/3 cup. It was still sweet enough.
