To prepare cake, combine 3/4 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup cocoa, stirring until blended. Cool.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl, stirring well. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Spoon batter into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray.

These were quite yummy and got rave reviews from my friends. I made as cupcakes (made one dozen) - baked at 325 for the full 20 minutes. Moist, not crumbly, easy to make; I will certainly make these again.

This recipe sounded great but after making it was too sweet, needed a crunch and no one that ate it enjoyed it at all. Would not recommend making it. A waste of time and money.

Delicious tasting and looking, this was a huge hit! I used 2 eggs instead of the egg substitute, b/c I didn't have any on hand. The cake turned out super-moist - will definitely make again!

This was yummy. To avoid a trip to the store, I subbed evaporated skim milk for the buttermilk in the cake mix, and 2 eggs for the egg substitute. This was a big hit with both adults and kids.

Tasty, easy, and good-looking dessert! Does not require much prep time but finished product looks like it took all afternoon. Had some problems with the bottom chocolate cake layer deflating while cooling so the entire cake sunk into the pan.

This cake was so simple and looked and tasted great. The cake wasn't too sweet, even with the marshmallows.
Love this Cake!
