This recipe made a lovely dark chocolate cake, with an excellent crumb. The cake was tall, moist and tender. It had a really nice dark chocolate flavor. I iced it with your orange frosting for a very special treat. Even the picky dh enjoyed this cake. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Made for Spring Pac 2014.

This is an excellent cake and my first try at a acratch recipe. Have just recently started baking and did not have round pans so made this in a 9 X 13 pan and it turned out great. Had to bake for about 45 minutes (and should have given it about 5 more). Did have question as to pan prep, should it be greased and floured? Used the orange frosting recipe you provided. Will say it is a moist flavorful cake and will definitely make again. Took this to a bbq and everyone loved it. Thanks.
