  1. Classic cakes are always the best and this cake will not disappoint. Great taste and texture and and so moist and delicious. I double it for a thicker cake and use a bigger pan.
     
  2. I have been using this recipe for years and it it a favorite for sure! My recipe for Recipe #218589 goes very well with this cake. It is sweet, but not overly sweet, and it is a great frosting for designs. After my cake is frosted, I often take the tip of a rounded knife and press down on the frosting and then pull away and it makes picks all over the top of the cake. Very pretty, especially with chopped nuts, sprinkles, Jimmys, or anything else you might want to add on top.
     
  3. I made this cake for my son's birthday, and all the guests raved about it!<br/><br/>However, it was definitely better the first day (made fresh for the party) than it was the next day when it developed a bit of a baking soda flavor. Make fresh (it's very simple) and enjoy!
     
  4. Absolutely amazing cake! I am lactose intolerant and eggs are hit and miss so it was great to find a tasty chocolate cake that doesn't use either ingredient. My husband also loved it even though it was vegan. I did make a simple frosting and think it added a bit of sweetness since this isn't an overly sweet recipe.
     
  5. Quick, easy and tasty too. I needed something vegan for my FIL and this fit the bill perfectly. I like that it uses pantry staples and can be made in a flash. The cake is moist and isn't overly sweet.

Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
