"Due to my time constraints, DH decided to make the birthday cake (his first ever) for our son. We picked a recipe from Cuisine at Home magazine. Wow, he did a great job after throwing away the first batch when he figured out there was a difference between the capital T and the lower case t! It was so moist and had a strong rich chocolate flavor - just..."

We had it for dessert about 3-4 times a month when they were growing..."

"This recipe has been in my family forever. I grew up on it and has always been my favorite. It came from the time when eggs were not readily available. People are put off by the idea of "salad dressing" or Miracle Whip in a cake, but it is so moist and delicious! I tend to make this in two 9" round pans."

"This light, delicious dark chocolate cake is flavored with strong coffee. My sister-in-law, a devout Christian, gave me the recipe (and named it in honor of the amount of temptation it creates when it's sitting on your counter).

"This is off a King Arthur Flour bag. It says, "This rich chocolate cake is ultra-quick and simple to prepare.
