It is so hard to find a no nonsense cooking video that gets straight to the point AND offers measurements on screen

This is almost the exact recipe for Hershey’s Chocolate Town Cake, it is delicious. The best chocolate cake I’ve ever tasted, I’ve yet to taste a better one in any restaurant.

Best cake I've ever made! I heat it in the microwave, so moist and chocolaty, A scoop of vanilla icecream, just perfect.

Why people is going crazy for two cups of sugar for a whole cake ? Are they eating the entire cake ? What do they think they are eating when they go at a fast food ?

Best cake recipe. Myself and my daughter made the cake, and though we had slght doubt about the cake, it came out beautifully. But we used softened butter instead of the oil .

This is the most interesting Chocolate frosting I've seen yet..?! I seems like it's ganache/custard/whipped cream all combined..! I can only wonder what that tastes like? :D Looks absolutely decadent! 💛

[Droggo]

I made for the first time, OMG this recipe is so quick and easy thanks

This looks so good. Your cake color is rich, and that's the best looking chocolate icing I've seen in a while.

This is a perfect cake!
Anyone who thinks it's too much sugar could use less; that's what my sister in law did, and her cake came out perfect! It also tasted similar to Mc Cains deep n delicious chocolate cake.
Thanks for your wonderful recipe.

I used an 80% dark chocolate and the result was soo bitter! I fixed it by adding LOTS of additional whipped cream, and it was fantastic! I got ton of extra frosting, but it was honestly worth it. My family loved the cake, thank you!

[SukiAwake]

That cake looks good enough without the frosting!

Spoken like a true 1972 Plymouth commercial, music & the odd humor included 😙

Chef and narrator, thank you
Your voice is absolutely matching the amazing chocolate cake✔️
Also why don’t we make two cups coffee, one for the cake and one for us✔️🎉
Thank you 🍊

My Grandma always added strong coffee to her chocolate cake. I carry on that tradition - but I use a double shot of espresso instead (cooled, of course) It really takes a chocolate cake to another level.
