Excellent! As easy as a box mix without the box mix "fake" taste that comes with all those added chemicals. I will make this again for sure! I did add a tsp of instant coffee to the liquids because it is supposed to intensify the chocolate flavor.

    An excellent snack cake! Deliciously moist and flavorful! So easy to prepare using only one pan, no mess to clean up! I think I will only use a powdered sugar to top. So flavorful, it needs no icing! Would be great served with a scoop of ice cream! Thanks for this one, Mysterygirl!

    This cake was good and I couldn't believe how easy it was to make! It was very light and moist. I made a very simple topping by sprinkling some chocolate chips over the cake as soon as I took it out of the oven. After a few minutes I spread the melted chocolate chips over the cake. Thanks for the recipe Mysterygirl.

    What I did was to line my pan with foil so I could remove the cake without damaging it because having read the previous reviews, I anticipated that the cake would turn out very moist, and it really was. Moist and delicious. Again, taking a cue from a past review, I added 1 tsp of coffee to the water for a deeper chocolate taste. When the cake was done, I sprinkled chocolate rice on top of one half, and white chocolate chips on the other. Thank you for posting. Loved the cake.

    Cake is okay. I found that with all of the buzz floating around about it I was expecting something more. Tasted like a store-bought Betty Crocker cake to me. Didn't stop me from eating it though.

    Wonderfully moist, rich cake. My only problem with it was my own fault. I decided to modify and use round cake pans to try and make a layer cake, and this cake is too moist to remove from a pan!

    I'm lactose intolerant and this recipe was a godsend. I like chocolate cake as much as the next person and this recipe definitely delivered! I'm now using the recipe again to make a birthday cake for my husband. It's so easy to make my girls (3 and 6) can help me. Thanks.

    Just as good as the old fashioned coffee/egg/milk moist chocolate cake recipes. The changes I made were to cut the flour to 1 1/2 cups and add about a tablespoon of instant coffee to the liquids. I also sprayed the entire pan lightly with pam, lined the bottom with fitted parchment paper, and then gave another quick spray of pam. I let the cake sit about 10 minutes after coming out of the oven, inverted it onto a plastic flexible cutting board, and then easily peeled off the parchment. I frost with a buttercream frosting consisting of 1 stick of butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, and a few tablespoons of milk (I usually double the frosting recipe). Nothing but rave reviews. This is a keeper.
