This recipe was super easy and the cake was so moist right out of the oven. The icing has a nice coffee flavor to it but its not overwhelming. Neither the icing nor the cake was too sweet, it was perfect. If you don't want the coffee flavor in the icing its just as good without the instant coffee using milk chocolate baking chocolate instead. When I finished mixing all the ingredients the batter was really runny and i was worried i had done something wrong, i kept going over the ingredients list wondering if i had left one of the dry ingredients out, but it ended up perfect. I will definitely make this again and again.

This is a fabulous recipe. The cake is dense and very filling. The icing in insanely chocolately!!! The combination of coffee and chocolate is fantastic. The icing recipe is great on anything. Definately a recipe that I will use for years to come. Ina doesn't disappoint with this one!

This cake is so good! It does take some time, but well worth the effort. Much better than boxed cakes by far! Has just the right amount of coffee taste. The icing reminds me of Mocha Frappucinno. The cake is very moist but not too sweet and the icing is light and soothing, with just the right amount of sweetness. "A must try!"

I have been making this exact cake for 45 years. I don't remember where I got the recipe. This is also the best chocolate cake I have ever had. I tried the chocolate buttercream on it last time I made it and it made it even better! Previously I had just made chocolate frosting or chocolate ganache for it.

I made this cake for a dinner party and everyone loved it. There was another cake at there but no one even tasted the other cake. The only negative about this cake I think the icing taste a tad too buttery. It either a little more sugar or cocoa powder or chocolate. Still very good.

Excellent cake! Moist from the buttermilk and the delicous chocolate flavor is enhanced by the coffee. I would highly recommend making this cake.

I loved this recipe. It reminded me of a cake my aunt made when I was young. I have been looking for a chocolate cake recipe with coffee in it, and this one fit the bill. The frosting was a bit too chocolately for me, but overall, I will make this cake often.

I made this cake and thought it the best chocolate cake I've ever made. The cake itself is so moist and chocolaty. I only had instant espresso for the icing, which I think was a bit strong, next time I'll get the instant coffee instead. Ina is a master at what she does.
