    VERY MOIST! The cake was falling apart, but it tastes great! I halved the recipe and it made 6 muffins. I used 1/2 c. white flour, 1/4 c. wheat flour, otherwise I followed the recipe. Next time I may replace some oil with applesauce to reduce the fat and calories. Good recipe.

    This will be my #1 basic chocolate cake recipe from now on. It is wonderful. I made two small changes: I used only 2/3 cups sugar and I used 3 10 oz souffle bowls for baking so I can freeze two for a later time. I only cook for one so I am always looking for ways not to waist food or have leftovers hanging around for weeks. Thanks for the recipe Baker Gal
