    Made this for my son's birthday, and tossed in some peanut butter chips at his request. It is everything a pound cake should be - moist, dense - with good chocolate flavor. Thumbs up all around - the birthday boy is VERY happy!

    I really don't know how anyone managed to get this cake dry. It's absolutely delicious. It has been a week now and the cake is STILL moist! I changed the 3 cups of sugar into 2 1/2 and it's extremely tasty! I also added some chocolate chips and some blueberries. Yum! Baking time with these two extra ingredients was 1h 20min. I reckon without it would be a bit less. Thanks, Paula, for sharing this recipe! My boyfriend loved it too and he's a chocolate cake snob!

    I made this cake yesterday, and it was delicious and "VERY" moist. As to all those complaining about it being dry, please don't listen to that. True bakers know that at times you must modify baking times, and add a little more butter to any recipe to insure moistness. Know your oven, and bake accordingly. I already knew my oven seems hotter than average, so I actually only baked this cake for 1 hour, in a Bundt pan, and knew it was ready when I checked it after the hour....and it was Perfect!! :

    I thought this was pretty good, but not "knock your socks off good." However, my husband would probably give it at least 4 stars, he loved it. Did anyone else have trouble with it rising too much. Mine overflowed. Anyway, it was easy and I may try it again.

    After reading many of the reviews I made this an added 2 more tblps of butter so it would not be dry. It was wonderful! The entire family gobbled it up. I use AP flour because I don't have cake flour, but it was moist and delicious with just a perfect chocolaty flavor without feeling really heavy. VERY easy to make and bake! I will continue to make for company as well as my picky family.

    Bake the extra 15 minutes....YUM!
    We layered this with cut strawberries and whipped cream.
    BETTER than brownies ala mode! This rocked!

    PS...to sports cooking....no way can a recipe with 2 sticks of butter, 6 eggs and so much sugar can be dry unless a mistake was made... check ur mix of ingredients, or time in the oven, but it's SO not the receipe!!

    It was just okay. It seemed a little on the dry side and the flavor was a little lack luster.

    Wonderful. And if you want to add more chocolate for an absolute chocolate fix, make a chocolate drizzle and sprinkle some chopped pecans on top.
