This cake did not rise properly for me. I followed directions exactly and know my way around a kitchen fairly well. Took so much time to set in middle edges were overdone. Decent taste but nothing special. I'll opt for a different recipe next time. Also in the middle of making this an ad popped up forcing me to create an account in order to view it again. Big thumbs down from me.
Loved this cake. Easy to make and so satisfying. Made it for Valentin’s Day in a Heart shape pan. Everybody loved it!
Easy delicious & moist chocolate cake! Came together quickly & easily and I followed the instructions exactly as written. I dressed ours up with chocolate buttercream, but would be just as good with a simple dollop of whipped cream & a dusting of confectioner’s sugar.
So easy I thought I was missing a step or two. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and came out very moist. This will be my go-to recipe from now on.
