Everyone in my family enjoyed this cake. Great size for a small family. Deliciously rich enough, easy to throw together and doesn't need frosting!
Absolutely perfect cake! I added 1/4 teaspoon salt because I use unsalted butter. It also took 40 minutes before the center sprang back properly. I expect my oven was set a little low. This is the cake I'm making for my next birthday.
This cake is so fantastic! I made the 8" cake which seemed reasonable for two adults. Wrong, I had to make a second one! I bake a lot and I have a favorite chocolate cake recipe but I wanted to try something new. I swear I will never make a different chocolate cake, thank you so much for sharing!
I have made this cake three times in the last two weeks. Family can't get enough and honestly it is SO easy. I add a cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
Best tasting chocolate cake. And so easy to bake. Only chocolate cake I will serve to my family.
Ingredients are likely in your cupboard and the result is a delicious moist chocolate cake. It was an instant hit with my family.

I make this cake as a treat for myself! Every time I make it it's like getting a hug! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! ??????
This recipe is wonderful! I made it last night for a Valentine's treat for my family. It's not to sweet so its great if you want to add frosting, but I like it just the way it is. I did add a little bit of salt, although the recipe doesn't call for any. My mom, who is not a big cake fan, loved it and asked for the recipe. Absolutely a keeper and will be making again. Thanks for the great recipe!!!!
