    I have made this recipe for years - since I was in grade school! It is a favorite of my family. To the reviewer who felt it was really messy-you mix the cake then sprinkle the brown sugar/cocoa mixture on top and pour the hot water over and DO NOT STIR! If it looks like - Read more ...

    Very good! My family recipe differs a bit. With only 3/4 cup flour 1/3 cup of brown sugar 1 and 1/4 cup of hot water and adding 1/4 cup of semisweet or dark chocolate chips to the topping!

    Turned out well I didn't have brown sugar so tried it with white it is NOT a change I recommend. I didn't give it 5stars because I needed to add more milk to make the cake batter but definitely a recipe worth repeating!

    This is a VERY good cake! I just baked it according to the recipe and it turned out perfectly. You might want to add a pinch of cinnamon for a little extra zip. It was easy enough to make with my 5 year old daughter and my family GOBBLED it right up almost immediately out - Read more ...

    I followed the recipe EXACTLY! The recipe states "No messy clean-up with this one. Just mix and bake in the same pan." This was NOT the case for me. After combining the flour & cocoa mixture with milk in the pan it was extremely thick and did not spread well in the pan. Added remainder - Read more ...

    This one is a keeper in our house. It's so easy to make I mixed it all in one pan as the recipe suggests. This is a must have to wow unexpected dinner guests. I didn't find it too sweet at all. The ice cream melded with the ooey gooey richness perfectly. Admittedly I let - Read more ...

    Easy and simple recipe to put together and execute. I didn't give it five stars because the cake had a bit of a baking powder after taste. Defintitely serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to cut the seetness.

    I used soy milk and almonds with good results. However I was surprised by how much fudge sauce there was at the bottom! The cake itself was pretty good chocolate-y and without being too sweet but with the fudge sauce on top of it? It became overpoweringly sweet for my tastes. Ice-cream or sorbet on - Read more ...
