1 Pan Fudge Cake
"This is my favorite chocolate cake. No fuss, no mess and very moist. Back in the early days when it was paycheck to paycheck, this simple dessert made it into his lunchbox many a day because it was cheap and simple. No eggs, no milk."

Wonderfully moist, rich cake. My only problem with it was my own fault. I decided to modify and use round cake pans to try and make a layer cake, and this cake is too moist to remove from a pan! -
WOW! I just made this cake. i am 8 weeks PG and have a cake craving so I went for this. REALLY REALLY GOOD and SO MOIST!!! I didn't add frosting and its YUMMY. Definatly better then the boxed mixes, and NO eggs and milk is nice too!!! AWESOME!!! -
An excellent snack cake! Deliciously moist and flavorful! So easy to prepare using only one pan, no mess to clean up! I think I will only use a powdered sugar to top. So flavorful, it needs no icing! Would be great served with a scoop of ice cream! Thanks for this one, Mysterygirl! -
What else can I say that hasn't been said above? I put peanut butter icing on top - deeelicious! The only thing I'm thinking now is that I'll make cupcakes out of the batter, and put icing in the middle of those cupcakes....hmmmm! Thanx Mysterygirl -
really fantastic recipe, the only thing i did different was that I added 1tsp of powdered coffee in the water .It turned out great!!! thank you so much!

I added almond extract instead of vanilla, and my whole family loves it

This is a family favourite. I make this at least twice a month actually more like once a week! I replace half the oil with applesauce and use high fibre flour. We sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking and don't ice it. My two boys love to help make it.

This turned out really well, even though I forgot to add the vanilla, and midway through dumping eveything in the pan I discovered I didn't have baking soda. I substituted 1T baking powder and replaced the vinegar with applesauce to lower the acid. Topped it with Easy Chocolate Fudge Frosting and it turned out great!! Thanks! -
My boyfriend actually looked in the garbage can for the box, because he didn't BELIEVE me when I said this was from scratch! I glazed it with Brownie Frosting and it was fantastic. Oh, I also subbed Splenda SugarBlend for the sugar and it worked great (and my normally anti-Splenda bf still loved it).

This was so easy it was great! I had a large amount of hot chocolate mix that I needed to use up, so I substituted the 1 1/2 c sugar and 1/2 c cocoa for 2 c hot chocolate mix. Worked great. Thanks!
