I work evenings in the operating room at our local hospital. Since getting away for meals can be difficult, we occasionally plan potlucks. I'm frequently asked to bring my "chocolate cake with the special icing". -Irene Peery Charlottesville, Virginia

Very good recipe, very moist. For those of you who said this recipe was dry, try sifting your flour then measure out by spooning into measuring cup and level off with spoon.

I doubled this recipe for an adult birthday & it was amazing! The cake itself was fantastic -- not too sweet & nicely moist. The icing was delicious (used strong coffee instead of hot water). My sisters asked for the recipe. Definitely becomes a "favourite" in my recipe box.

This is a nice little chocolate cake, and is a great size for two people. Sometimes I throw a handful of tasted pecans or walnuts on top.

This was the best fudge icing I have ever had honestly. I made it with 3 Tbs. of cocoa plus 1 Tbs. of oil instead of the chocolate and also used the other moist chocolate cake recipe on this site that didn't have an icing in the recipe, since many reviewers said this cake was a bit dry. This served with vanilla ice cream tasted like hot fudge cake and was completely eaten and everyone was asking me for the recipe. Will definitely be making again and again.

This was great! My husband loved it and was glad the kids weren't here. I added 4 oz. of sour cream to also to the mix. The cake was very moist. We loved it. I will definitely make it again.

This cake is delicious. I used all-purpose flour because I didn't have cake flour. The cake turned out to be so moist and the frosting is one of the best frosting I've ever had!
