EatingWell's Died-and-Went-to-Heaven Chocolate Cake

I have been making this for so many years, people call it my recipe. It's the best chocolate cake ever - works for cupcakes and layer cake too.

I'm not sure about 'died and went to heaven' but this cake was very good. Very moist, even good without the glaze. Was worried you might get a hint of coffee (which my husband hates), but no coffee flavor at all. Followed the recipe exactly. Instead of the glaze, I might serve with macerated berries next time.

This is my go-to recipe for chocolate cake and am surprised that there are so few reviews. I have made the Black Magic Cake---recipe used to be on the back of the Hershey's box but found this one, which is made w/ healthier ingredients. It tastes exactly the same....has a rich, chocolatey dense flavor. I bake this cake 10 or more times a year, it's THAT good. I frost it scantily with a chocolate glaze or ganache. It's wonderful!

Easy and delicious Simple and great results (and I am not the world's best baker, by any stretch of the imagination). I made cupcakes by baking for 18 minutes, and they are moist and delicious. This will be my new go-to cupcake recipe!

Great!The batter really is soupy. I was nervous that it was so thin but it really turns out great! I used dark chocolate cocoa powder and I love it.Pros: Delicious

Update: I looked at the cake again (9 3/4" bundt) and actually I cut it into 12 even slices - not 10 (or the pieces would be huge!) - so the nutritional breakdown (with the swaps) is approximately as follows: 130 cals, 1 g fat, less than 1 g sat fat, 30 carbs.
