    I think the cake is good! moist, tasty, etc but the icing is horrible! i even added more sugar and vanilla and it still had a creamcheese-like taste. id make this cake again but I would definately change the icing

    I made this cake last night for a friend who is watching her weight and I was drastically disappointed...I carefully fulfilled the recipe requirements and wholeheartedly agree with another reviewer when they said it tasted like coffee flavored whole wheat flour. Yuk. It smelled great and the texture was fabulous, but the flavor and aftertaste were not palate-pleasing! The frosting was nasty too - even after adding 3x the amount of sugar, it was still sour-tasting. Not that a good frosting would've really even solved the cake problem, right?

    My family loved this cake. It isn't hard to make but requires a number of ingredients. It is very moist - I baked it for 25 min.
    I made the icing but threw it away. Nobody liked it and it overwelmed the taste of the cake. It was too sour tasting.

    I made this cake one night while craving something chocolatey. I love Ellie Kreigers method of cooking and have been making her recipes for quite some time. I think her show is great, and her teaching methods are wonderful, however, when it comes to dessert, there is no substitution for the real thing. I think the cake was dry ( and I even underbaked it by 5 minutes and both the frosting and the cake were just not sweet enough for my taste. It tasted too much like coffee and not enough like chocolate. My kids (who love chocolate cake hated it. I think desserts shouldnt be fooled around with.

    The cake is moderately easy to make but is well worth the effort. I brought it to a work function and everyone loved it.

    I thought this looked so good on the show. So I made it and it looks great! As going to serve for dinner with company tomorrow I dished it up for my husband and a bite for me. I thought this would be great to serve a healthy dessert and no one would be the wiser! Well it's chewy got that fat free type taste! So disappointed as now got to buy a birthday cake for our friends as can't serve this as this isn't up to my stander of cooking!

    I made this cake expecting that it would be like all those awful lowfat cardboard desserts that I've tried. I was wrong. This cake was moist and light, with a delicate crumb. It was impossible to tell that it was made with whole wheat flour. I would definitely recommend it.

    I used dark chocolate cocoa powder. YUM! This was so moist and chocolaty. I must confess. I wasn't altogether impressed with the icing. I might try an icing from a different recipe with it next time. But the cake is great.

    It was good, but not as good as i thought it would be. It tasted like the cake from the box...which is a good thing. I didn't make the frosting because i already had plenty of frosting at home. But this cake needs a frosting!! Next time i will make the frosting. thankyou ellie!
