I agree. This is moist, intensely chocolate- tasting cake. However it sets lightly in your mouth and is a great finish (with coffee) to a more robust meal. I added raspberrys to each plate for garnish.

Very moist, dense cake, with a rich chocolate flavor (I think due to the extra cocoa). Certainly do NOT miss the added fat of 3 full eggs and oil.

Made this yesterday following directions other than mine was a regular choc cake mix, not devil's food. It was the type with pudding in the mix, so possibly that is the problem. Noted right away it didn't seem to rise enough, only a few inches tall. No more than half the height of the cake shown in picture. Very dense and heavy. Didn't finish my piece. Had just bought the cake mix, so freshness should not be an issue, used the right size pan. VERY disappointing.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"03\/10\/2013 14:05","GUID":"a08a36e37d6c409d86b3bc3e18f71c8b","MemberId":4236840,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"JeanneBigaj","SubmittedDate":"03\/10\/2013 14:04"},{"Comment":"

Recipe disclaimer - this was submitted way back in the 90's when counting fat seemed to be the in thing. It was a discovery of a way to not add more fat to a pre-packaged item (cake-mix). I realize you had no way of knowing that, since the submission date is not available in the little blurb.<\/p>
Carb counting was not even in the equation, so please feel free to try adding protein powder, walnuts, and other things to give this a protein boost.<\/p>
I am also interested in the findings of those who try lactose-free yogurt with this recipe.<\/p>
This was never intended to be consumed by one person, so if you do need to watch the carb content as I do even now, you could make it for an event and have just a wee bite.<\/p>","CommentId":26,"DateRated":"03\/07\/2013 14:31","GUID":"7173c3d36ead46f9b6768c6361364ceb","MemberId":7164907,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"brendaruse","SubmittedDate":"03\/07\/2013 14:31"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":27,"DateRated":"03\/07\/2013 13:53","GUID":"e60a2884259e4872a7f90dca9ac3499d","MemberId":6332646,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"ksnewfie","SubmittedDate":"03\/07\/2013 13:53"},{"Comment":"
