    I just made the Easy Chocolate Cake! I didn't have lemon so I used the vinegar. It was delicious. So yummy! I'm snow bound & I had nothing here remotely interesting or sweet. I took it as a challenge & my Lord was I in for a treat. It's so good. I made the glaze which was wonderful. I've eaten 2 large pieces already. An hour ago I hadn't even started. You're a genius & the cooking guru for sure. It's a great cake and just as good as any chocolate cake I've ever eaten. Thank you so very much Jenny, you really can cook. Next time, when I have more powdered sugar I'll make your icing! I'm going to get year & make your yeast rolls. I grew up in the South & never saw this recipe. . We worked ourselves to death kneading to get the perfect rolls. I'm sorry my Nana & Mama aren't here to eat your rolls because I know they would've love them. You've changed my life. I've had a broken neck and lots of surgery and nerve damage so if I wanted yeast rolls, I need a bakery, which are always sold out at holidays, or I buy the frozen ones & thaw them out, which are expensive and not as good. Now, I can make my own again. Thank you so much. This means a great deal to me. You're helping correct a problem and keep a bad memory away. 🙏❤️

    I've been making this cake for over 45 years, "Mix-in-the-Pan Jiffy Cake", for clients who are allergic to eggs, milk, etc., or have food preferences such as being vegan. My recipe calls for white vinegar, but lemon juice would also work in the same way. I mix the ingredients right in an 'ungreased' cake pan w/ a fork, if it will be left in the pan for serving. For diabetic clients, I use Swerve White Granulated Sugar Replacement & for gluten-free clients, I use gluten-free flour. For a chocolate cake, I use 1 cup cold coffee in place of the water, to give the chocolate flavor a boost. I also make this cake without cocoa for other flavors - for a lemon cake use lemon extract, water, & lemon zest or lemonade & lemon zest; for an orange cake use orange extract, water, & orange zest or orange juice and orange zest: banana extract w/ a little yellow food color; strawberry extract w/ a little pink food color; etc. - any flavor works. I bake all my cakes at 300 & test the internal temp w/ an instant-read thermometer for doneness, like you'd test a steak. Baking cakes at 300 degrees also gives the edges more time to bake higher, ending up w/ a flat cake. When you can smell a cake, it's almost done, & time to test. Once the internal temp reaches 212 degrees, the liquids are boiling & evaporating, so the cake will be dry & over baked. I pull all my cakes when they test at 208 degrees since they will bake out of the oven for a couple more minutes. If leaving this cake in the pan, press saran on its surface while it's still warm, about 30 minutes out of the oven. If removing it from the pan (you can make 2 layers for a layer cake) put parchment in the bottom of the pan & spray the sides of the pan. Place saran & a cookie sheet on top of the cake, flip all over, lift off the pan, wrap airtight in the saran, place back in the pan upside down, & leave on the counter at room temp for a day to 'season'. Cakes that are made a day ahead of time will be easier to work with, w/ fewer crumbs & crumbling.

About the only difference is our recipe calls for cold coffee in the cake mix and the topping is cinnamon and sugar which crackles when baked. My whole family loves it so much that they request it for birthdays, with the crackled top or iced like this one. Coffee in the icing is good too. Best with instant coffee so as to not liquefy the frosting.

Your amazing cake is light but moist, chocolately, I could have used more spray in the pan, but what the heck, we'll dig it out. Didnt have lemon juice, used apple cider vinegar & instant coffee instead of plain water. The entire recipe took less than 5 minutes to put together, BY HAND in ONE BOWL. Made a light frosting like yours, its just the most delicious cake. I want to try and figure out how to make a lemon version. Thank you so much

I also used coconut milk for the frosting and coconut oil (solid) to keep this cake 100% vegan, Delish.

      There is an avocado chocolate frosting that I believe you would absolutely love. I am not a vegan but I make this frosting because my husband has cancer and we are trying to eliminate sugar from our diets, but he loves chocolate so I did research on making sweets that will satisfy my husband the sugar/chocolate junkie. The frosting tastes really good and "no" you cannot taste the avocado at all. Find the recipe at PALEO SPIRIT - just type in Avocado chocolate frosting. I also make a Mejool Date chocolate cake to go with it. This is not a decadent cake to be sure, but it is so satisfying for chocolate lovers that are trying to cut back on proteins and refined sugars.

    My Life has changed since I found you Jenny. I'm officially Your Number One Fan I now make an Easy Chocolate Cake ever other day so I don't run out. I'm alone but that's good so no one fusses at me or sneaks my chocolate cake. Today at the grocery store I had a bit of a wake up call. First, I had to go to a box in the garage for my 'just in case bigger jeans' as I've gained a few extra pounds. As I was checking out & reviewing and bagging my purchases, I made a little discovery. Everything I purchased was directly related to your recipes.The alarming part was it didn't concern me that I had 10 lbs of Flour & 5 lbs of white sugar, powdered sugar, jam, cream cheese, cocoa for baking, lemons, butter & vanilla. I started laughing as it dawned on how very happy I was! I only wish I'd found you before the soon to be X husband & broken neck. You've given me permission to be happy. I love to cook now as I enjoy the process from shopping, making new recipe cards to the cooking & enjoying the results. I have gained some weight but I was very, very underweight as I'd been through some hard times. I'm mending with a big smile & a size bigger (only the one size though)!! Thank you so much Jenny! You've made me smile & feel good about things. Our Grandmothers were right when they said to eat & we'd feel better. I just had to tell you how thankful I am.🙏❤️

    I loved this video and then realised this was Jenny Jones and loved it even more! I loved Jenny Jones show when I was a kid! It was a constant source of arguments in my house when I was 10 because I insisted on watching it every lunch time. I even wrote about it in my 10 year old diary. So happy she just taught me this super easy cake recipe!!!

    Okay, so, I made this tonight. Being that it's late and I wanted something sweet, but didn't feel like driving to the store, (I also didn't have any eggs, or much milk.) I looked up recipes and came across this one. I had a fair share of scepticism, but I can't believe how yummy this came out. Alright, it isn't going to win any awards, but it's perfect for a quick cake in a pinch. Thank you for posting. ❤

    As a child I had allergies but I could eat this cake. Despite outgrowing allergies this remains a moist yummy favorite. Frosting was out too but a dusting a powdered sugar topped it off!💕🤗

    Jenny, thank you so much. I went vegan/plant based Feb 2014 and since then I do not use dairy, so this is a great recipe for me to make for a birthday or really any day. Thank you for making a cake that does not have any dairy!
