Wow...this recipe makes an amazingly moist and fudgey cake. I used a thick white buttercreme frosting, it truly tasted like an oreo cookie. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

A very moist, almost fudgy cake which rose well. I would have preferred a stronger chocolatey flavour (perhaps more cocoa powder?) and was distressed to find that the warning about tin greasing was well founded. Despite greasing my tin very well, only half of the cake came out when inverted. I managed to press most of it back into place (not a thing of beauty) and used a very thick "snow scene" style of peppermint icing to disguise the broken top. If you have the same problem, don't panic! The cake is so dense that it packs together well so that, when you slice it, the reconstruction work isn't obvious; a good thick icing masks the cosmetic defects. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for an egg-free cake.

I'm the only one who cared that this recipe was non-dairy; everyone else just thought it was delicious. I served it with mango which I wrapped in foil and barbecued, and every crumb was gone. yum.

brittmarie, please let me add my 5 stars to the list here!!! This cake is SO moist ... it's very substantial , and that's not meant in a bad way at all! LOL What I liked most about this , is I always have EVERY single ingredient on hand!! I will admit, I didn't use the Mocha Glaze listed with the recipe. I totally cheated and bought store bought cream cheese frosting , melted it down and drizzled the cake with that. Magnificent! Thanks for a great homemade cake recipe!!! **updated review july 1 , o6 Made this cake tonight ... after I had everything all mixed up of the dry , started to mix the wet and realized I didn't have enough oil oops LOL .. I used what I had .. which was JUST a tiny over 1/4 cup ... popped it in the oven and hoped for the best. It was absolutely FINE!!

This is fabulous-tasting and easy to boot. I used a butter and vanilla icing instead of the mocha glaze. This is one of the few cakes that both my boyfriend and I agree tastes almost better once it has been refridgerated. Thanks for sharing

This was an excellent chocolate cake, I would definetly make it again! I cut the recipe in half(trying to watch my diet) so the cake portion size was smaller, and perfect to accompany a cup of café au lait after supper. Great recipe!!

I made this for my vegan roommate and my non-vegan roommate and they both loved it. This is an excellent recipe.
