My six year old daughter did all the measuring and mixed this cake with a whisk. Talk about easy! We used 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt in place of the melted margarine, and we added 1 tsp instant coffee granules to the hot water. Moist, dark, easy, and takes ingredients we always have on hand. Five stars plus, in our book.

Simple & delicious! I subbed organic coconut oil for the margarine with perfect results.We love our dark chocolate cake topped with white frosting, so I made a simple butter cream with confectioner's sugar to top it. Will be using this recipe again. Thank you for posting!

I made this today pretty much as directed except I decreased the hot water to 3/4 and made up the diff with Kalua (coffee liquor). It came out great, dark & chocolatey, moist and sweet. I could eat it by itself but I did make a simple chocolate frosting to top it. I guess I needed a little pick me up. It really is an easy cake to make and just what I was looking for, thanks!

This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe other then I used half sugar and half Splenda. I also used butter instead of margarine as that is what I buy. I didn't top mine with confectioners sugar as we didn't think it needed it. This is a tasty little cake- not too sweet.

Great, little cake. Flavor was good and just the right size. I made it with real butter, added 1 tsp. of vanilla and a handful of chocolate chips. I could have ate the whole pan. Thanks for the great little recipe.
