I made this cake for Easter and I was very happy with the result. It was moist, lovely spongy texture, and not too sweet. I served it with raspberry and vanilla ice cream.

Simply the best chocolate cake we've ever had, including expensive cakes from the best bakery in town! I didn't use sugar-free anything, and I did use 4 eggs (instead of 2 plus the egg substitute). I drizzled a chocolate glaze on top and served it with black raspberry\/chocolate chunk ice cream.

Hi your recipe for the Ultimate chocolate cake call for 2 eggs and 1\/2 cup of egg substitute, so in reality is it 4 eggs in all, if I chose not to use the substitute?<\/p>","CommentId":79,"DateRated":"","GUID":"85bad85f931f4c74b54afd6e7c6d6cc3","MemberId":1689741,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"cdrobott","SubmittedDate":"06\/26\/2009 19:13"},{"Comment":"

I first saw a recipe for this cake in Quick Cooking as a slow cooker recipe. My family loves it, and when my son got married, he wanted this for his groom's cake. That recipe was entitled, \"Triple Chocolate Mess,\" and I believe had oil in it instead of applesauce.<\/p>

This is a great recipe. I made it for company and everyone loved it. We ate it while it was still a bit warm and the chocolate chips were still oozing.
