This was like chocolate heaven! Very, very good and easy to make. I used a 9x13 in glass pan and it took 32 min for the cake to be completely done. Thanks for sharing!

Another 5 star review! Very delicious. I made for a crowd coming to a retirement party and we all LOVED it. Can't wait to make it again.

This is soooo good. And so easy. I did not have any sour cream so I substituted CREAM CHEESE and I also used a cup of coffee instead of water and it turned out WONDERFUL!!!! Highly recommend this one.

This is an absolutely wonderful cake. I received the recipe from my co-worker as it is a favorite at work. We bake it in a 9X13" pan but that is the only difference. It is so easy and the cake is moist and stays moist for days. I highly recommend this one for all you chocolate fiends like me.
