Cake was moist and delicious, but my frosting did not turn out like the photo or video. Mine was darker and heavier, almost like a ganache and it did not make very much. If I made this again I would double the frosting. I used a raspberry flavored coffee in the cake batter so the cake had just a hint of raspberry, which was great.

I made this cake for my older brother's graduation, his favorite is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I made a different frosting recipe, simply because I didn't have the ingredients on hand to make this one. This cake turned out amazing!! Super moist and does not even contain butter! Also, one of the easiest cakes I've ever made. It is true to its baking time, I baked mine in 2 9-inch rounds for 37 minutes and turned out perfect. Will definitely make again

I've baked this cake at least 3 times in the past year and it is my family's go-to chocolate cake recipe. Everyone who tastes it has raved that it is the best chocolate cake ever -- it's rich, moist, with a light and tender crumb, and an intense chocolate flavor. The frosting is perfect -- a great marriage of chocolate and coffee.

I used 9-in. pans for my cakes, which means a slightly shorter baking time than the recipe calls for. To ensure a tender crumb, I make sure to use an oven thermometer to ensure the oven is at the right temperature. I also check in on the cake very often once it is close to the finish time, testing with a toothpick, and pulling it out as soon as it comes out clean.

I love the frosting, and recommend doubling the frosting recipe so that you can have extra frosting between cake layers and for decoration. I like to top mine with fresh raspberries, but it really doesn't need anything except a glass of milk or coffee to wash it down!

The best chocolate cake ever. So moist, and delicious. I will never make any other chocolate cake again.

I've never been a big chocolate cake fan until now. I made this for a dinner party the other night and received a round of applause after dessert. Everyone absolutely loved it and couldn't believe how moist and delicious it was. If you are ever asked to bring a cake somewhere - this is the one to make. I used 8" cake pans and my cakes sunk a bit in the middle - even after being very careful not to overmix. Next time I'm going to add a little less baking powder and see if that works. There's plenty of delicious frosting to cover the cake - so no one will ever notice.

The cake itself was very moist and I think the coffee brought out the choc taste. I was a bit freaked about putting coffee in it as I'm not a fan of coffee taste so only used half o the amount. Turned out great! The frosting on the other hand didn't seem to be the right proportion so I added twice the amount of icing sugar to actually cover the cake. Tastes fabulous!!

Frosting is great, unique flavor. Cake tastes great, but weird texture and easily overflows pan. Looking for a better recipe.
