    The cake is easy to make. It is moist and pretty good. I felt it did not have enough chocolate flavor and will substitute Kathleen King's chocolate cake for this. But the frosting is amazing!! Perfect! I wish there was no raw egg. I will try it without next time. But this will be the only chocolate frosting I ever make from now on.

    I have been trying to find a great homemade chocolate cake recipe for so long and this is it. I read through all the reviews and there were 3 bad ones. They obviously don't know a good cake when they taste one or they made it wrong because this recipe was so simple and the cake and frosting are amazing. Thanks Ina.

    This was a hit! The color and texture are very good. The flavor has a definite coffee (surprise! - NOT! flavor, so make sure that your target audience likes this. My final product got rave reviews.

    I just have to add my rave review to the list as I'm eating my second piece for breakfast w/my morning coffee. This cake was super easy to make compared to other from-scratch recipes and so yummy. Very moist and not too dense with just the right amount of chocolate flavor. The frosting is just right for the cake, too.

    I have made this cake twice, and it has been a hit both times! It takes a bit of time (not much more than a regular homemade cake but it is SO worth it! I love Ina's recipes and this is no exception!

    This is a wonderful cake...rich and moist and not at all hard. But several of the reviews remarking on the thin batter made me look into something and I realized that this is virtually the chocolate cake recipe from the back of the Hershey cocoa box! I doubt Ina even knows this as it is her friend Michael's grandmother's recipe. The changes are the coffee replacing the boiling water and buttermilk instead of milk. I think she may slightly vary the amount of baking soda or powder too. I just think it's a riot b/c the Hershey recipe was already my favorite easy chocolate cake and now it is vastly improved...oh and I added my own twist...a little orange zest in the batter and some fresh squeezed orange juice in the icing (I used the one from Hershey as I am leery of the raw egg thing I also added raspberry jam between the layers. But it is superb on its own too! Anyway, funny twist on a classic. :

    I'm back online reprinting this recipe for someone who wants it who is now stuffing their face with it.

    Really good Chocolate cake recipes are hard to come by. This one is right up there.
