    This is also a favorite recipe of our family. I have made this cake for many years per request of family members, but I put a peanut butter frosting on mine, which makes it even more popular. My recipe is for a large cake (double your recipe) and calls for vinegar, not lemon juice. It is so yummy! - 10/30/08

    Nothing special. Just an OK chocolate cake, even with frosting. Wouldn't make again. - 12/11/08
