Although the recipe did say 'batter is very runny', i was concerned with just how liquidy it really was. All of my doubt was for nothing. The cake came out perfect - very delicious. I will definitely use this recipe again.

I can't believe it - this cake is amazing!!! Never thought I could bake a cake like this in a million years! I just decreased my sugar from two cups to one, as the icing will compensate for the sweetness thus reaching a balance of flavor in your mouth.

So easy to make. I used Ghiradelli sweetened chocolate & cocoa premium baking cocoa, which made it DELICIOUS. Lightly greased pan also. As one reviewer here said, I too was worried about how runny it was, especially adding milk last. Just stir slowly, make sure everything is equally distributed, pour the very runny batter in the pan, and don't worry about it - it bakes beautifully!
