Very nice moist loaf cake. Not too sweet and a good chocolate flavour. Be careful not to overbake! -
Excellent recipe, recommended to me by my daughter who is a wonderful baker, I'm glad to say that my results were also excellent, and I'm not such a good baker, so its clearly a really good recipe!!! We both chose to make muffins rather than cake, I got 12 cupcake - sized muffins out of this recipe, I baked them for approx 25 minutes. They were declared excellent in texture and taste by DH, who is an expert taster :) Thank you Spongebob!!! -
Another great recipe from Spongebob!!! This is such a good cake!!! It is very moist and luscious!! I love that it has less guilt using the yogurt and canola instead of butter. I used some instant espresso powder that I mixed to make a cup of coffee and put the TBSP for the cake, it gave the chocolate wonderful depth of flavor!! Loved this recipe, thanks for posting!! -
Hello, This cake looks yummy! I plan to make this cake for my son's 2nd bday day care celebration. Will be using Natural unsweetened cocoa(trying to use up what i have). Can you pls advise what size of the cake pan should i use . There are total of 10 kids and i plan to cut the cake in butterfly shape.Also, i will be be baking it tonight so let me know if i should refrigerate it overnight or can it sit out in the kitchen for a night. I am baking a cake after almost 10 yrs hence a little nervous. -
I made this cake for my brother's bday, but contrary to the other reviews on here, overall I did not like it. Maybe I did something wrong, but as far as I know I followed the recipe to a tee, except I added crushed walnuts for texture. I did appreciated that it was not too sweet, which allowed the cocoa to come through without being overpowered by sweetness, but I found the cake was really heavy and dense, which is why I wouldn't use this recipe again. I prefer my cakes to be lighter and fluffier.

Fantastic! I love it after a few days, when it gets slightly sticky and chewy. It's so moist, and really delicious. I substituted applesauce for the oil, and used a tablespoon of instant coffee granules. This is perfect.
