My daughter always requests a chocolate cake for her birthday so I found this recipe and decided to try it. I'm glad I did. It was so easy and it turned out moist and delicious. I frosted it with a vanilla buttercream frosting I found on this site (Recipe #222188). Thank you for posting this!

Was a hit at my DH's birthday dinner. And was simple! Did not add cinnamon but used butter cream frosting. Yummy!

Excellent...I usually make cake from scratch, but this will be my stand-by when I'm in a hurry! I also added just a bit of vanilla extract to the batter. Next time may try a little instant espresso powder, but it really is great as is. Frosted with recipe #222188, which I highly recommend. My daughter's birthday cake was outstanding, it made 12 regular cupcakes & one 8" round cake layer. Thanks for sharing.

Very good cake -- I filled my mini-bundt pan with 12 small cakes, then baked the rest in an 8x8 pan. Added a scant cup of chocolate chips to the batter and omitted the cinnamon, then glazed the tops of the cakes and decorated with slivered almonds. It is a very moist cake, and I think the addition of the mayo elevates it to a more homemade flavor.
