  • “I reduced the sugar a little and only used 1/2 c. of the boiling water.And this is truly one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve ever made, because it’s soooo moist.It’s also chocolaty and tender and just about perfect.I used a slightly different frosting so my rating is based on the cake recipe only.I baked the batter in two buttered and floured 9″ cake pans for about 30 minutes.I’m keeping this recipe for a long time.It is fabulous!!”

  • “This cake is so incredibly moist! It gets rave reviews from friends all the time. The ingredients are so basic. I especially like that there is no butter since it is difficult to find where live. (I make my own buttermilk as it is.)”
