Very easy to make delicious cake. I already made it 4 times doubling the quantities each time and my family and friends can’t get enough of it.

Verry good recipe! the cake came out really well. I like the idea of having the chocolate chips as a kind of frosting. <br/><br/>I made one modification to the recipe by flavouring the water with some (1tsp) of coffee..it worked well...

My family has been using this recipe since I was a little girl! It is totally fail-proof unless you accidentally omit an ingredient! The only time it ever came out wrong for us was when my daughter and her friend made it one night and forgot the sugar!!! Excellent recipe...we always called it "Crazy Quick Chocolate Cake". Excellent with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce!!

This is a really excellent recipe. We're vegetarian and it's hard to find a good eggless cake recipe. I found that this cake permits an amazing amount of latitude in what you put in and making variations. I usually use 1/4 cup vegetable oil (makes it a little drier but I'm ok with that.) It tastes great when made as mentioned, but also allows a lot of variations. Off the top of my head I can remember adding condensed milk (reducing water and sugar to compensate), a can of pineapples instead of cocoa and chocolate chips (again adjusting water and sugar) for a pineapple cake, or blueberries, or dried cranberries. I often top with chopped walnuts before putting it in the oven. This has become my base recipe for a variety of cakes!
