recipe reviews for:

Secret Midnight Moon Better than Chocolate Sex Cake

“This recipe was modified from several that I found at the Cake Recipe site, some of it is taken from the recipe for Secret Cake, but it has other random ingredients. It's very, very nice, moist and chocolaty. And the name is a random conglomeration of words from the various recipes that I used to come up with this one.”

I was really scared b/c the batter was REALLY liquidy...so I added a little more flour, but I shouldn't have, the cake was excellent! It really tastes unique and is very moist. Just to reiterate: the best chocolate cake I've ever had, my favorite recipe on this site. Definitely try making this. Also, whoever said this cake was dense and rich did something very wrong, it's really pretty airy, but it still satisfies chocolate fixes :)

I made this cake last Valentine's Day with hopes of pleasing my chocolaholic boyfriend and also pleasing my best friend's mom (her birthday is on the same day). But instead of doubling the recipe I multiplied it times 5 and had pans all over my kitchen. But the end result was worth it many times over. EVERYONE I GAVE A PAN TO SCRAPED EVERY CRUMB!!! I even got a call from someone's ex-boyfriend (I gave them one of the cakes) this Valentine's Day to ask if I can make the cake for him again this year!!!

omigod omigod omigod this cake is AMAZING. my valentine and i (on valentine's day) baked this cake (we are not avid bakers) and could not believe it actually came from our hands! it is soooo delicious... we added a little more sugar and flour before putting it in the baking pan because the batter was a little runny. you must make this cake (and next time we'll double the recipe. it was really that good!)

This was a huge hit at our picnic. I personally thought the whiskey gave it too much of a "taste" but everyone else absolutely loved it. I didn't read the reviews first and was skeptical about how liquid the batter was, but it baked up just fine.

first time making from scratch. added 1 extra Tablespoon cocoa powder to recipe & used Mocha expresso. Whiskey did give it a hint of flavor but didn't taste like alcohol. Fantastic! Served with whipped cream and raspberries over the top of the frosting. Will definately make again!!!

Made this as a Special treat for my Upline (home party biz) since she was promoted. Made a trial one first and it was VERY moist but not chocolatly enough...added 1 TB more chocolate to the batter and I also let bake an extra 10 minutes (25 was not quite enough IMO)...the cake is REALLY made when you add the icing, that is the kicker to it all! YUM!

The first one I maid I used Knob Creek, witch is a burben and I dont know if that maid it not to my liking (i do drink it) or if it's the batter, but the icing I LOVED! I'm gona remake it again and leave out the wiskey, if it's to my liking i'll experament more. I gave it 5 stars due to the cake was VERRY! moist witch i LOVE moist cakes and the fact that if i liked the tastes better it would have been perfect. Also fallow the recipe EXACTLY, i was hesitant about the batter being so thin. But since i red the one review i fallowed it exactly and to my serprise it was looking like a hard cake at 10min left, after 25min it was set up quicker than ANY other cake i've main, expecally for it being so thin at start. Love the idea of this cake!

Okay. This is really really good. When it was fresh and warm, it wasn't quite as good, but when it sat in the refrig overnight, it totally tasted amazing. It is really rich and dense. I did not have any burbon, so instead I used Starbucks Cream Liqour instead. Good stuff!
