I can't comment on the frosting, as I wasn't ambitious enough to try it! However, the cake is absolutely amazing. The only thing I wish about my homemade cakes is that they came out as light and fluffy as the box kind, but you can't get this kind of flavor out of a box cake, and this one is just as moist as those. I just made this recipe tonight, and am so in love with it that I had to come review it immediately!

This is a fantastic cake. It is moist, great chocolate taste and not too sweet. Everyone loved this cake. It is a keeper. The cake was fairly easy to make but it did take some time. When you get to the point of mixing the dry ingredients, I would not follow the recipe. I would add the hot water to the dry ingredients before staring to whisk. Otherwise, these ingrdients are too dry to whisk. Also forget about the 140 degree temp. for the frosting. Make the water bath as directed and then just beat the egg whites unitl they form stiff peaks then add the vanilla. My egg whites reached 140 degree when they were only foamy and then they never reached that temp. again. Use the frosting as soon as you make it. THe is a great cake and make sure you shave the chocolate on the cake as directed. You will love this cake.

My Mother made this cake, and as a child I remember it being good, so today when I watched Alex make it , it looked so good that I decided to make it. However, having been to the CIA and knowing what food should taste like this was not good. It tasted more like water than chocolate, and the "marshmallow-ish" frosting --I'm not a fan. Butter and real chocolate are always the better choice.
