Great moist cake! So Chocolaty! We live at 5500 ft altitude. Most cake recipes are toast but this cake is the bomb!!! My family ranted and raved about it this morning. I have tried for 7 years numerous cake recipes but this one is the one that sticks! Did a few modifications. 3 eggs, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree and 1 cup yogurt.Heck we need our veggies and fruit slipped into everything. Nothing comes close to the richness of this cake! Yes I can say we found the BEST chocolate cake recipe for high altitude! GO Ellie Krieger. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!

I have made this cake twice so far. I think it is fabulous. It does have a stronger coffee taste, but I think that's what kinda makes it different. I loved EVERYTHING about it. I could almost (I'd probably get sick from all the chocolate eat the whole thing at one time!! It is super yummy. I wish all health food was this good. But I used store bought whole wheat flour, wonder what it would taste like with freshly ground whole wheat... HMMMMMM have to try it!!

This chocolate cake is so moist and not overly sweet like most. I have made it a number of times and always get positive comments. One friend said that it is "the best chocolate cake" he's eaten "since he's been in the U.S (7 years ! Thanks for yet another good one, Ellie! You're the BEST!

I made this cake w/ 100% whole wheat flour (no white flour and it was great! I think people who didn't like this cake expected it to taste like something out of the box. That's the beauty of this recipe. IT DOESN'T!! For once I have a chocolate cake that is rich, moist and as healthy as choc cake can get...and yet, no sugar overload. I did not make the icing as I don't like it very often. I do, however, love cream cheese icing and would make it for guests. Way to go Ellie, another homerun!

I found this recipe to make for a party. I didn't want to make a cake, so I made the mix and used a cupcake pan. THEY WERE AMAZING. Gone in 60 seconds is not just a movie anymore. And no one knew they were healthy. I even fooled my boyfriend. The frosting was amazing as well, light and moist not overly filling. I will be using this recipe again for a LONG time.

This cake was delicious. I made this and my roommates and I loved it. The cake was moist and yummy. You couldn't even tell that there was wheat flour in it. If you can enjoy wheat pasta, this cake is for you. The frosting was a little cream-cheesy and more of a glaze than a rich frosting. But it was light and complimented the cake well. I will definitely make this cake again but maybe rework the frosting a bit.

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. Too dry, tasteless, bland and definitely taste like diet food. I love Ellie's shows and her recipes. I use some of them weekly, however this is one that I will NEVER use again. Don't bother to fix this one if you are expecting it to taste anything like chocolate cake.

I made this cake for a friend for her birthday. I used 3 round baking pans to cook the cake in. I decided not to make the icing as many reviews said it was not very good. My mom makes this mocha filling mix with chocolate pudding, vanilla, espresso and whip cream, so I put in between the round layers of the cake and on the top layer then sprinkled it with chocolate curls. It looked good and was very yummy! some of you might want to try this.

This is exactly the recipe I was seeking. First of all I don't like cheesecream icings or even buttercream or anything like that. For the icing I will use something else. I think people make the icing expecting it will taste like something that it is not. It reminds me of the stuff on cinnabons something else I am not a fan of really. I recommend a light whole wheat flour. I think a lot of people might be using darker wheat breeds and this causes the over powering taste. I use a whole wheat all purpose white flour combined with a golden whole wheat flour. The bronze wheats and harder wheats do not work here. That is why its asking pastry flour. I do not know if anyone will find that 2 cents useful, but you got to know what your working with before you judge a recipe. Not all ingredients are the same.
