The water spilled over the top of the tray I baked it in, and it came out dry and lumpy, with a thick black wetness all over it, which was extremely sickly. It definitely does not come out the same as in the picture and was barely edible. I would not recommend this to anyone.

This was a great recipe. Made it for a girls night and it was a huge success. It was great with vanilla ice cream on top. Next time I think I'll try the version with coffee!

I really liked this, but had the same issue that many others did with the hot fudge layer being to thin. I did as others have recommended and only used 1 1/4 cups of water (which I added 1 tsp coffee granules and 1 tsp vanilla too) and it was seriously runny. It is a very good dessert, one that I will make again after some tweaking. This reheats really well in the microwave which is a big plus! Thanks for the recipe:)

This was delicious! Very easy too. Mine was perfect at 40 minutes, even though my oven cooks things very fast. I did not decrease the water- loved the amount of hot pudding/fudge this produced on the bottom. I added vanilla to the water (would have added it to the batter but I forgot). We had this with ice cream and it was gone in one sitting! My kids, my husband, and myself LOVED it! My mom made something just like this when I was little.

It's just OK in my book. Definitely too much liquid at 1 3/4 c. I substituted coffee for the water, which added to the taste, but it's still too soupy for my tastes and the flavor isn't exactly what I was looking for. It would be better with less liquid, but don't think I'll try to make this again.

This is definitely a VERY messy cake but it is very good with ice cream. It is chocolaty but it isn't rich like hot fudge as many would expect (still doesn't mean it's not good). It is like the Betty Crocker Warm Delights. Don't expect it to behave like a regular cake... this one is for those who don't mind getting messy.

Easy recipe for a quick chocolate fix. Instead of white sugar, I used Splenda which caused the texture to be a little weird. The cake tasted better as leftovers, heated up and topped with Cool whip.
