    Loved this cake! and i hate cake. I decided to make my own birthday cake cuz "if u want it done rite u gotta do u urself." And i wanted a chocolate, almond gelato layer cake. And this cake was sssooooo moist! and soft, i thought i would make it even more fluffy by substituting water for seltzer water or club soda...and let me tell ya, it worked, D-LISH! I made some whipped cream and used that as my frosting (cuz i hate frosting Best birthday cake ever! And way cheaper than buying 1...It was super pretty and formal looking too! yay!!!

    Gale and FN....
    I love this cake. It is my go to scratch chocolate cake. I first printed out this recipe in Feb 2008! I have found that it makes great cupcakes, too. Also have halved this recipe ( weighed and remeasuring everything and it makes one small bundt perfectly. Keep up the good work!

    I am attempting this recipe today. I have a 12 cup bundt pan. The recipe doesn't specify what size pan to use but I'm sure it won't fill our pan. I plan to double the recipe and put all the left over batter into cupcake flutes. We're entering the cake in a dessert competition tonight at the company Christmas party, so I'll let the taste testers be the judge! :

    I hate baking! It's too much like science to me. But I needed a cake for thanksgiving and I didn't want box cake. This is the simpliest recipe...A child could make! and soooo moist. It was great and gone in a day! Oh, yeah the little tip about the coco around the pan instead of the flour.....is brillant. To all who love chocolate, MAKE THIS CAKE!

    This cake is very easy to make and comes out light and moist. The key is to follow the recipe exactly.....
    I think it's best enjoyed with home made whipped cream and a glass of cold milk.

    I read several reviews that said the cake came out dry or cooked uneven. I don't know if they didn't use cake flour or didn't sift the flour because my cake came our perfect. It even holds up over a few days like the note at the bottom said. Also, I tracked down the Valrhona cocoa powder, really good vanilla and fresh as I could get eggs. It was all a bit pricey but worth it. In a simple cake like this the best ingredients are what make it amazing. My family has already requested I make this cake for every occasion in the future.

    Super easy recipe. I don't understand why it became dry to some because it was really moist. It does have the consistency of a box cake minus the disgusting chemical after taste and they all have it. And I love the fact that it is not too sweet and it has great chocolate flavor. I can't stand chocolate cake that is super sweet and this is just perfect.

    This is a tasty and easy chocolate cake. It's perfect for when you're craving chocolate cake, but don't want to spend three hours in the kitchen. It's made with ingredients I keep on hand, it doesn't make a big mess, and it's always delicious.
