Karen:(I give this recipe 5 stars! If you love chocolate like I do, you will enjoy this recipe. It is so good served with ice cream and is perfect for a Sunday dessert. While it cooks, the cake rises to the top and the water turns into a yummy chocolate sauce, making it perfect to serve over the ice cream. Just make sure to use baking powder not baking soda. I've made that mistake a couple of times in my life and I was so sad when I found out and it tasted DISGUSTING!)

Me: this was so good. I love chocolate. This is really not as sweet as you might think. It has more of a dark chocolate flare to it. I have made this twice now, once at my house and once at my MIL's. We all loved it.
