I'm a sucker for a great chocolate cake and this one is great!!
Very good chocolate cake and frosting--it was gone in a flash!
Dense, flavorless besides a flour aftertaste. Followed the recipe exactly. Worst cake I've ever made.
We made this recipe of chocolate cake with the chocolate cream cheese icing for my grand daughters birthday today. It was awesome, good flavor, and good texture. We added an egg to the cake batter and it turned out really good. We highly recommend this recipe.
After reading the comments, the dense quality was the biggest complaint. I hate a dense cake so I added one egg to the batter. The most delicious fluffy and moist cake I've ever made! I highly recommend.
Ok I just made this both the cake and frosting and honestly they both are nasty and the smell in our house didn't smell nice like a cake baking. The smell was more of a stink. I follow the exact recipe for the cake and for the frosting and they both are horrible
Did not like this at all. Very dense probably cause there are no eggs in it. Won't make again.
Only tried the frosting, but it was awesome! Also, I used an 8 oz pack of cream cheese instead of a 3 oz.
its a good recipe but its not my favorite the cake did not taste right without eggs in it. Its also a tad flavorless and its definetly not for cake in a mug
It is a delicious moist cake that the whole family loves!
