really nice very easy cake. I love the no-bowl prep. I substituted some coco for about 1/4 cup of the flour. Moist & Addictive! -
I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't as moist as most of my cakes are and the flavor was kind of bland. It was easy to make, though. I made it as listed except stirred in the chocolate chips and omitted the nuts. I also added a 1/2 tsp mint extract. -
I made this for my DH's birthday & it was a HIT! No baking chocolate on hand, so I used 6T unsweetened cocoa powder mixed with 2T vegetable oil. Substituted coconut for the nuts, spreading that on top before the chocolate chips. Ended up with 1/2 toasted and 1/2 moist coconut. Baked @ 325F in a dark Pyrex dish for 40 minutes. LOVELY! Almost like a loaded brownie. Served with vanilla ice cream. This is a keeper, Anna. Thank you!!! -
My first from scratch cake. Very easy. I did tweek: apple sauce instead of oil, wholewheat flour, no nuts, semi sweet choc and 3/4 c sugar. And I mixed in a bowl and put in round pan.

The only issue is that I was kindof messy when I stirred everything up so it didn't look so pretty in the pan when finished. Must learn to be neater. Hubby and kids loved it.
