Unbelievable! I split the batter into two 8" circle pans. I also used wheat flour and then self-raising flour instead of the oat bran. Came out incredible moist, light, and fluffy. A little bit of the frosting goes a long way, so I like the amount that this recipe makes (even divided in layers)! - 3/8/14

Thank you for this recipe. Out standing, will make again. The cake was very moist, the frosting was simply outstanding. Followed your recipe, only I tripled the frosting, and made enough for a two layer cake. My husband is very hard to please and very picky, but he loved this cake. yummy. - 5/6/13

Review is for the cake only - I did my own frosting. Turned out only okay. Cake was not super chocolatey, was kind of rubbery and REALLY dense. Followed directions except for subbing some AP flour for part of WW; don't know why that would affect it. Thanks, but I will try other recipes instead. - 7/3/12
