Hi! I made this recipe yesterday and got 36 beautiful cupcakes. I used Hershey’s natural cocoa. I asked my chocolate lover 7 year old daughter if it was good and she said -”No … it is D E L I C I O U S!!!” I made the cream cheese frosting too but used honey and the result didn’t make justice to the cake had to change to nutella frosting…Divine! Guess will need to include dime Lyle’s on my next Amazon delivery. Thanks for sharing will be trying more recipes!!!

Haven’t made this recipe for a while and today added an extra 1/2 cup of coffee by accident and it still turned out great! Guess, you can’t mess this one up.

I made it again with the one recipe and 30 minutes baking and it came out perfect.

I made the cake in a 11 x 18 x 2″ pan and used 1-1/2 recipe and that was nearly perfect. It could have used more but it is fine

Hi Jane,

You say it doesn’t happen every time? Other than the size of the pan, are there any other changes made? Do you have an oven thermometer? The oven temperature can make a significant difference in baking success.

Thanks, Zoë

Hi Zoe
Thanks for your reply. I use a tester which makes it look like its completely cooked. It does not rise properly. I use all sizes of panc from 6inch to 14 inch. I have more success with smaller tins.

Hi Shirley,

I think this recipe will do for that size pan. It will probably take 30+ minutes to bake, but be sure to use a tester to make sure it is baked through.

Thanks, Zoë

Hi Jane,

When you bake the batter as a cake, are you using a tester to make sure the cake is baked through? What size pan are you using?

Thanks, Zoë
