This was good and moist for me. I used a full cup of chocolate chips (because I'm a chocoholic), and 3/4 cup of coconut. Other than that I kept to the recipe and I love it.

Was delicious. Was easy to make. Not a fan of nuts so i put in chocolate buttons, as well as putting them in the cake mix. Came out great. The top was a bit chewy, but i think i didn't add enough butter. The main body of the cake was soft and spongey. Served great with double cream.

This was a good cake, it wasn't quite chocolatey enough for me and I did make a few changes. I replaced the coconut and pecan with toasted slivered almonds. And subbed brandy as suggested for the water. It did turn out so pretty with the almonds that I didn't add the chocolate chips because I didn't want to spoil the effect. Thanks!!

I'm only 13 yrs old and i baked this cake with the help of my siblings for my dad's birthday. It was really easy to bake and the cake turned out great! It was just the right size and just the right taste! It was so chocolatey and the topping was delicious. I baked it for 40 minutes and it turned out perfect. I also cut down a little on the sugar.This cake was the best cake i have ever baked.
