ENRAPTURE
This cake is GREAT. Lovely for a quick breakfast or on the go energy boost. Free of processed sugar and globby animal cells (no cholesterol). I have eaten this cake 3 times and have made it once. It is AMAZING! I am a vegan yoga practitioner, so the carbs and calories are n0 problem for me. - 5/11/15

PONDERER
I prefer this without icing. It gives a moist dense chewy mildly sweet brownie.
Measure carefully all moist ingredients, add only enough water as needed to achieve a moist batter. seems “under cooked” when warm. Seemed to “set up” in frige overnight DO NOT USE toothpick test for doneness - 8/10/13

This is the best chocolate cake ever! My kids don't eat any fruits and just some veggies. This recipe is my life saver! They both think they eat real chocolate cake! But I don't put in it currants as my kids might not like them. I gave it to my friend's kids, it was success! But it is time consuming - 8/2/13
