Okay, so I did Pam's recipe and took the tips from the previous thread of brushing with boiling water 3X and covering with plastic wrap. Totally not dry on top at all, so it worked PERFECT. Okay, followed Pam's recipe to the T and...LOVED IT!!! I aslo put the collar on it, so I did foloow it to the T. First, let me say, I am so NOT a chocolate person AT ALL. This cake was wonderful. My kids who are true chocoholics (I mean serious ones, not like how kids love chocolate, but chocoholics) absolutely loved it. Now I have a great go to chocolate recipe, but this will be it for now on.
So after the first day it tasted great, the second day I would say the biggest difference to me is the texture is more "fudgey". I guess I should have waited until tomorrow, but my kids all ready cut into the cake. Cost wise, I would say it's a little more expensive then my regular chocolate cake, cause of the butter. But that's the only cost difference. As far as rising, I put the entire recipe in a 10" pan with a collar. It came up a little over the pan, but then went back down and leveled off with the top of the pan. I find this cake so much easier to make then a butter cake, so if you can bake that, this will not break you at all. It's a great tasting, easy as heck to make chocolate cake. Next, caramel mud cake!

I'll also have to research all the conversions to make sure my teaspoons and tablespoons are the same as in y'alls recipes. I've been dying to try out a proper mudcake for a while ^_^ I wouldn't know what to rate it against though, as I've never had mudcake before!
