I just tried this recipe this week, but I upped the cocoa to a full 1/4 cup and instead of water used soy milk for a richer flavor. I am definitely going to make it again!

yum! nice to have a cake with such simple ingredients, and sooo fast to make. I made this for a birthday party and everyone scarfed it down with many compliments to the cook. I did use 1/2 cup of cocoa because i really like chocolate, and it worked out well.

I've made this before - easy and excellent results: very moist. I have also been known to add a teasp of instant coffee for a subtle "mocha" flavor...
