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. :
