My family loves this cake and I have substituted regular flour with King Arthur all-purpose gluten free flour and 1 tsp. xanthum gum with much success.

I love this cake. Although I bump up the cocoa a little bit in the cake part. Due to being at sea level it works best when I bake at 325°F vs 350°F. Recipe is for high altitude I suspect. I use a 8"x12" cake pan so mine is a bit thicker as well. I think this tastes better next day (fridge overnight) and it DOES freeze well. I had lost my recipe for this and happy I found it here. Whenever company is invited for dinner I'm almost always asked "are you making that awesome cake too"? Easy recipe also, I think.

THE BEST CAKE EVER! A co-worker used to make this cake for the office (which happens to be in Denver). She retired. I needed a cake for a bake sale at work so I looked up the recipe and decided to have a go at it. I've never been good at baking cakes from scratch. WOW! It came out perfect! It's the easiest cake recipe I've ever used. The cake always reminds me of chocolate fudge. It's just SO perfect!
