This proves you don't have to spend a lot to serve an elegant and delicious dessert. We have friends who are very picky eaters, and this is their absolute favorite chocolate cake. You can quickly mix up the batter in one bowl, bake your cake and serve a crowd for just 14¢ a slice. —Christa Hageman Telford, Pennsylvania

This is an awesome chocolate cake. Very moist. Didn't have canola oil so I substituted with vegetable oil. Will definitely make again.

The best chocolate cake recipe I've ever made. It was consumed in less than two days at my house; my teenagers loved it! Moist, chocolatey and so easy to make. I made a chocolate ganache and drizzled on top. Delish!!

I have been a Taste of Home subscriber for many years so have tried numerous recipes. This is the BEST chocolate cake recipe! Hands-down THE BEST! My husband doesn't normally eat many sweets, loves it! This will be our 'go-to' recipe from now on.

This cake was very moist. Everyone loved it. I made a ganache to put on top. I would definitely make this again, in fact I did last night!

Such good flavor, but my cake wouldn't come out of the pan without falling apart. It would be really good in a trifle, too.

I've made this cake for years and the results are always the same; moist and delicious! It has great chocolate flavor and I use a flavored coffee, like vanilla or creme brulee and it is wonderful! It really doesn't even need frosting, it's that good!

Tasted great and looked great too. Cake sliced very cleanly making for a nice presentation. Easy to put together with very little clean-up.

Easy to make. Almost like a store bought cake (but much better). The coffee gives it an interested flavor
