Mom always made this special cake for my birthday meal. It's very moist and has a nice, light chocolate taste, and the flavorful frosting is the perfect topping. — Deborah Amrine, Grand Haven, Michigan

This cake is so good, I wish I could increase the ingredients to a 9x13 size. I've been making this for years and it disappears very quickly.

I didn't think the cake had enough chocolate flavor, and the icing didn't seem to go with it.

Instead of 3 Tbsp cocoa, I put in 1/2 C. Tastes alot more chocolately!

I found the frosting TOTALLY addictive but the I could taste a slight baking soda taste cake, and even after a night in the refrigerator I can still taste it. And I even used less baking soda. I won't be making the cake again but the frosting is delish!

I have made this cake many times. I use Miracle Whip since that is what the cake was called in the 50's when I first made it. It has a different taste from the usual chocolate cake. I don't like chocolate cake but this is one I will always eat. I make a simple powdered sugar frosting (butter, conf. sugar, vanilla and cold coffee in place of milk). It gives it a mocha taste which goes very well with the chocolate. To me it does also taste a little like caramel.

Haven't made this yet, my MIL used to make this cake & it was wonderful !Note to Mrs Kase - perhaps your oven is too HOT / or you over beat the batter ?? Either will cause a cake to sink in the middle.

I don't know about this recipe but my grandmother made this cake all the time while I was growing up in the 60"s she would make a layer cake out of this and make caramel icing and then freeze it......the best child memories ever! ! ! ! !

When I was 10 years old and other peoples wells were going dry. Mrs. Hardman would come to our house to get water and she would bring this cake. It was the first taste of chocolate cake I ever had and it is still the best! So moist. I love it to this day. Also, Iprefer it with chocolate icing.
