    Love this cake. It's easy to make and it always turns out delicious! The batter looks a little watery, but after it bakes it turns into a super moist cake.

    This is a quick and easy recipe that is delicious! It is a very moist cake that can be eaten with or without frosting. My whole family loved it.

    After reading all the reviews, I thought I would give it a try. I saw that some had trouble and figured that would be me. To my delight, this cake came out perfect. I loved the density, the flavor as di d those I shared this cake with. My only concern was the amount of time that it took me to put it all together. I know it was because it was my first time making the cake. I am looking forward to making this cake again.

    I made this recipe, my husband, and son loved it. I thought it was "ok". It had almost a greasy texture to it, but moist. But the men in my family seemed to enjoy it and say it was great. Very easy to make. Apparently my husband now wants it for his Birthday cake. I made a chocolate frosting to go on it, maybe next time I will try Cream Cheese frosting.

    I used this recipe to make cupcakes for my family and everyone loved them! I sifted the flour, cocoa, baking power and soda. I personally did not try them but I definitely got great reviews. My mother told me she would eat all of the cupcakes if she could. I used cathy lowe's recipe for cream cheese icing and together, they're a total home run.

    I love this cake, very moist and fluffy. I made it 2 hours ago. I sift everything, the flour, cocoa, and sugar. I mixed it together with a hand whisk (wooden spoon wasn't helping. I also mixed each wet ingredient one at a time together with a hand whisk. I only baked it for 25 minutes. I started to smell it, so I checked it, and it was ready. FYI: My batter was very runny I was nervous about it BUT my cake rose perfectly.

    I was so excited to make this cake after reading the reviews! it sounded amazing. i mixed the batter, put it in my buttered/floured tins, let it bake in the oven, the good smells of chocolatey goodness filling my nose. Tested the cake with a knife, you know, all that good stuff. took the cakes out and let them rest. : I was so stoked to try it. I called my cousin down to taste the cake and she said "Yuck". :( I had my mom taste the cake, same thing. my little sister said it tastes like Cocoa puffs. I am very discouraged :( I followed this recipe to the dot and it wasn't very yummy. I won't make it again. While the cake was moist, it wasn't good... :/

    I have to say that this would be my first time making chocolate cake and I am so impressed with the recipe and myself. The only thing I did differently was to bake it in one 9 inch spring form pan for exactly 45 minutes, lessened the amount of sugar by maybe a tablespoon or so becuase I did not want it to be to sweet , omitted the vanilla (this was done inadvertantly and I replaced the vegetable oil with olive oil. Let me tell you the results were fantastic. It was dark, rich and moist. For those who claimed that their cake was a total disaster I am sure that you did not follow instructions. The majority of the ratings are excellent so you must be doing something wrong. Try again and I think you will be pleased. I don't think there is anything else I could do to make it perfect. I plan to continue making this cake and sharing it with family and friends.
