My first ever successful chocolate cake :D I don't know why but I've never succeed in making a decent looking, moist and yummy chocolate cake before although the recipe that I was using was my mom's usual moist choc cake recipe. But this recipe didn't fail on me. And I'm sooo glad! It was very moist and chocolaty. I love it :D This will definitely be a keeper for me. Thank you! And btw, I used this recipe http://www.recipezaar.com/76491 to make the filling and then I made another batch and pour it on top of the cake. Yummy!

This turned out fantastic! I followed recipe exactly but cooked in a 9 inch springform pan as my husband wanted a single-layer cake for his birthday. Cooking time adjusted, it was done around 35-40 minutes. So delicious and easy! Thank you!

The best chocolate cake recipe ever, in my opinion, because it tastes great *and* is super-easy. I never keep buttermilk or vegetable oil in my pantry, and I was running low on olive oil, so I used regular milk and melted butter in place of the buttermilk and oil. It still turned out amazing. I made mini cupcakes with this, cooking at 350F for 15 minutes. Topped with Kittencal's Best Cream Cheese Frosting (Extra Creamy Option) http://www.food.com/recipe/kittencals-best-cream-cheese-frosting-extra-creamy-option-90142 , but I added some sifted cocoa powder to make it a chocolate cream cheese frosting. FABULOUS.

Super moist. I used a 9x13 pan, only baked it for 25 minutes, next time I will leave it in the oven a bit longer. My husband kept asking for a devil's food cake, and he is extremely happy with this one, so am I, way too easy to make! Great Recipe. Will definitely make this one again!
