This is a very good cake ya'll. Great post Rosej.


I agree with Henrie. This is a delicious cake, and especially with the addition of the 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Some recipes do not call for the cinnamon. Great post. :)


We used to make this cake a lot - and it is delicious. Great post, Rose! =)


Oh my...another chocolate cake recipe...I'm doomed. Each recipe looks better than the last. I have a mission and I will complete it....to find the worlds best chocolate cake, and so sad for me, I'm the judge that gets to try them all. Oh well, I'm dedicated and will not be detoured.
Sounds great!
