"I have been making this recipe since I was 12 years old.. my brothers and I knew that we could have a snack in less than an hour and only clean 1 bowl. This is a very moist chocolate cake that can be served to your vegetarian friends for it has no dairy products"

A friend gave me this recipe not long after I was married and said there will be times when you don't have an egg in the house. I cannot recommend this enough, print this off and put this somewhere handy. Tastes great and works EVERY time.

My mom used to make this cake when we were growing up. I haven't made it in years. Boy, it sure brought back wonderful taste bud memories. I am in charge of birthday cake day each month at work and took this today with the Hershey's chocolate frosting recipe. To say it was a hit would be an understatement. I am truly a pie lover but occasionally will have cake, I took one bite of my sister's (we work together) and it was fabulous. Thanks for the memories. So good I'm going to make again for our annual Rod Run trip in a couple of weeks.

My exact recipe .... so yummy!!! Quick and easy and the kids love to help! I use Recipe #80118 for the icing.

I made this for my husband's birthday this year and he loved it. It took longer a full hour to bake in our oven, though. Very yummy and fast to put together.

this is as everyone said a GREAT recipe. Mine is slightly different, I use 2 T of vanilla instead of 1 T and sometimes (just to get CRAZY) use 1 c. coffee and 1 c. of water for the 2 c. of liquid - delicious!
