Very easy to make and everyone loved it. The cake flour made it very soft. Have made it a few times and have enjoyed every one.

This was a fantastic cake! I made this for my husband's birthday and it was a big hit. It was incredibly rich and not too sweet, which my husband liked. If you want a big dose of chocolate this is the cake for you. I doubled the custard recipe in order to have it in between the layers and around the outside of the cake.
Chocolate coma!

I heard about the NY blackout cake from my sister, so I tried this recipe and followed it to a "T". My 14 yr. old son said it was too chocolatey. I thought it was a little dry. I think if I make it again, I will reduce the oven temp to 350. I also think the cake was very chocolately, but I don't know if this is how it's supposed to be. I'm giving the rest of the cake to my sister and see if this is what she wanted. We are not big chocoholics in my house, but my sister is, so she might just be in heaven.
BEST Cake Ever !!!!!

Hard work that pays off every time

This cake is not for an inexperienced baker. It is very time consuming. However, the pay off is worth the results. I've made this so many times now and no matter who I make it for, I get nothing but raves.

This cake is a chocoholic's delight. The rich dark chocolate taste is supurb. It's also an easy recipe to make.
It IS like Hawaiian Dobash Cake

After threatening to make this recipe for a while, I finally tried it and was so happy I did. It's so smooth and creamy. The unsweetened cocoa powder makes it rich, without the sickening sweetness. It takes longer to make than the 45 minutes it says here but it's SO worth the work!
Famously chocolate

Thought the custard was very good - (odd that it has no eggs or milk) but the cake seemed a little dry. I'd make again, but substitute a different cake recipe.

this is a cool creamy chocolate lovers dream. i cheated and used crushed toffee candy bars to coat mine, ooohh-la-la. this is one that you'll make more than once.
Delicious custard, dry cake

The concept and the CUSTARD are a chocolate lover's dream! The custard gets you a little extra chocolate kick without that heavy sweetness you get from frosting. Cake is crumbly and dry -- just use your favorite cake recipe, and you've got yourself chocolate heaven.
Taste like Hawaii's Chocolate Dobash Cake!

This recipe is a good one! If you don't have time to make the cake from scratch, use any chocolate cake mix. I've done it both ways and they're both really good. I halfed the custard recipe and still had too much for the cake.
Great

==================================
Using black cocoa

User: Jenny from Greenville, SC User Rating:
I tried this substituting half the cocoa for black cocoa, to make a truly dark blackout cake. It was wonderful, but I'm personally not a fan of the crumbs on the outside (even if they are traditional) because they create the mouthfeel of dryness even when the cake is not.
Don't hesitate! Make this cake!!

This cake was excellent!! Took it to a party with adults and children. Everyone loved it. Easy to make! Rich and chocolaty without the zing-on-the-teeth of excessive sugar. I received much praise! This is now my chocolate cake of choice.
Unique and Delicious!

I make cakes very often but this was the biggest crowd-pleaser to date. The frosting has a unique taste and texture--it's rich without being too sweet. I loved the look of three layers too, although I could have done without the crumbs on top.
good

it was pretty good. i made them into cupcakes but it got so big that it spilled over the edges. i didn't do the icing. it was light and fluffy.
A bit dry...

my husband loves chocolate so he thought it was great. I thought the cake was to dry, I baked it for 32 min.
