This cake is sooo good! I have wanted to make this ever since I first saw it in my 1998 Taste of Home. There are so many good recipes in this magazine it is hard to choose sometimes. I will be making this again very soon.

Holy chocolate cake Batman!! This thing isn't messing around. I've made this cake for various occasions for the past few years, and I rarely have leftovers. It's fairly easy to make, and makes a great grown up birthday cake, especially for those who looove chocolate. This cake's a real winner!

Starting out as a new baker may have caused my problems, but when I melted the chocolate for the frosting and began stirring, the chocolate separated and was more like water and chocolate chunks. Unfortunately, I had to throw it out. But on the bright side, the cake tasted delicious!

YUMMM!! I added the sugar to my icing so this cake was VERY sweet!! I was a little disappointed to see that the serving size was 1/16th of the cake but it was so sweet it was enough to satisfy me. My husband said he thought it was a bit too sweet so he wasn't as crazy about it.. I'm imagining it will be better the longer it sits as far as the flavor goes. Because of comments about it being hard to remove from the pans I used PAM baking spray and made sure to coat it very well, let it cool about 10 min then flipped it out onto the wire rack and tapped the bottom of the pan... it gave me no trouble at all!

This review is for the frosting. It is amazing!!! I use it on my chocolate cakes and chocolate cupcakes, it's so creamy and fluffy, kind of like ice cream. I use milk chocolate and skip the sugar. I look forward to trying the brownie portion of this recipe soon. :)

The best cake I've ever had! This cake is absolutely amazing! If you're a chocolate lover, you will love this cake. I made it for my husbands birthday 3 years ago and it's been a tradition ever since. I make it several times a year for company and everyone raves about how good it is. Words cannot describe how yummy this cake is!!!

Cake never cooked; would not rise. I went the intial cook time of 20 - 25 minutes and tested the cake; after 40 minutes I removed the cake hoping it would set as it cooled. Cake sunk and was raw in the middle. Any ideas? I checked the recipe several times to verify the correct amount of ingredients and how they were mixed. We improvised and made a cheesecake type recipe. I took the edges of the cake that were cooked and crumbled it into a oreo crust pie pan drizzled with caramel. Then I placed the cheesecake frosting on top. I am pretty sure one slice was about 1000 calories, but I didn't want all that hard work and ingredients to go to waste.

A question on this cake--would it be ok to bake it in a 9 x 13 cake pan instead of the 3 round cake pans??
