I've tried this recipe several times, and I can never get it to turn out right. The cake is always too dry.

This recipe is a great starting point for a delicious chocolate cake. I added some extra spices to give it a more fall flavor.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this one is really good. The pumpkin puree makes it moist and flavorful.
