Was looking through the newest recipes as I wanted a lunch box filler. Loved the sound of this as it was super easy. I used 2 round 9" pans and it took just over 30 minutes. Used a butter icing. Has turned out lovely and moist. Thanks for posting. =)

Awesome! Its main features have to be its simplicity in preparation and its extremely moist chocolittyness!! I added 1/2 cup of Nestlés dark chocolate melts ( the big flat ones)to the mixture just for the effect. I was a bit dubious about making it at first as it had no baking powder in it and I was expecting a heavy cake. But no, I made the buttermilk (information gleaned from the link, as I had never heard of buttermilk. I thought buttermilk was something only found in sun-tan lotion), resisted the urge to pour in half a bottle of Tropical Blend tanning oil as a possible substitute, and went ahead. So glad I did!! It is YUM plus!!

To: Cindy Lynn This cake is absolutely fantastic!!! Big, moist, and just plain tasty! Followed your directions and it turned out super. Very, very easy to put together. Baked it in a 9" x 13" pan and topped it with my favorite chocolate fudge icing. YUMMY! Thanks so much for sharing. Laudee C. Colorado

You're welcome Evie and Laudee, and thanks for the reviews everyone. I have yet to find a frosting that doesn't go well on this cake. I've used 7-minute types, cream cheese varieties, caramel (ooey gooey ones)--you name it, I've probably tried it. Sometimes I sprinkle coconut (toasted or untoasted) on it. Sometimes I throw in a cup of chopped walnuts (English or Black). Kids love it when I put sprinkles on top. I also make cupcakes when I need to use up some buttermilk. I just put the cupcakes on a cookie sheet in the freezer until frozen and then put them in a bag. My kids love to eat them frozen (without even bothering to frost) in the summer. Actually, my husband does too! )

Good and easy cake to make. Couldn't get any easier and tastier for a chocolate cake. It isn't so rich that all you can eat is one slice and that is it. I did change the recipe a little. I added only 3 tablespoons of cocoa and substituted the other 3 tablespoons with Milo. I like the malt taste in milo. When the mixture was done, i also added half a bag of hershey mini chocolate chips to give it a little of a fudgy taste to it. The cake rose up well and was very moist. Good recipe...will be doing this again for sure.

I made this for my 5 year old's birthday party and it was very good. I thought it was better than the one I bought for my 9 year old's party the week before. Definitely a keeper and my guests thought so too.

This was my very first "homemade" cake. I chose it because of the easy 1-2-3 instructions. It was absolutely scrumptious. I plan on trying some of the variations in the other reviews. Thanks!

Excellent cake - I'll be making this always now when the guys in my husband's shop request a chocolate cake for their birthday, going away, whatever. Thanks for posting. (by the way I ended up making two - another for my son - when he smelled it cooking).

I made this for my sister, she does not like overly rich choc taste. This went over very well with her and others. Easy to make too and so yummy.
