Ultimate Chocolate Cake Recipe

Reviewed on Jan. 08, 2013 by Myrts78

Sorry to be a spoilsport but this cake was very disappointing. I was looking for an enhanced boxcake recipe that was fit for company, I was extreemly disappointed and embarassed. It was dry and slightly chocolately....made as written. If I realized it was a healthy diet cake I would've gone with butter or oil instead of applesauce and added lots more chocolate. If you are watching your fat and sugar and don't care for a dry cake this is it!!!

Very moist. I took it to work and it was all gone by noon.

Simply the best chocolate cake we've ever had, including expensive cakes from the best bakery in town! I didn't use sugar-free anything, and I did use 4 eggs (instead of 2 plus the egg substitute). I drizzled a chocolate glaze on top and served it with black raspberry/chocolate chunk ice cream. Nirvana!!!

I want to make this cake, however when the recipe calls for mix well, does this mean with an electric mixer or by hand? Please help.

Have made this recipe many times with many different cake flavors, pudding flavors and chips flavors and all are excellent. This time I tried the sugar free devil's food cake mix and used fat free plain yogurt instead of the sour cream. Excellent and so moist. This recipe is basically fool proof!

I used all real ingredients, made some subtitutions in the recipe and it didn't need any frosting or any thing on it,it was fabulous. If you like choc make this cake.

I made it with chocolate fudge cake mix and egg whites instead of egg substitute - thought I had overbaked it - still moist and sooo chocolate. Great served with a caramel sauce and scattered with a few pecans.

I'm a lazy baker. Aside from the tastiness, the best part is that most of the ingredients come in premeasured containers

I have been making this cake since it first appeared in Light and Tastly, years ago. No one ever knows it is a light version. I do have to plan ahead to have the cake and pudding mix on hand.

 Hello...I was curious about the use of egg substitute for the Ultimate chocolate cake .  How many eggs would you use if using all whole eggs instead of 2 egss and 1/2 cup substitute?

Reviewed on Jun. 26, 2009 by cdrobott

Hi your recipe for the Ultimate chocolate cake call for 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of egg substitute, so in reality is it 4 eggs in all, if I chose not to use the substitute?

I first saw a recipe for this cake in Quick Cooking as a slow cooker recipe. My family loves it, and when my son got married, he wanted this for his groom's cake. That recipe was entitled, "Triple Chocolate Mess," and I believe had oil in it instead of applesauce.
