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.

This is absolutely the best ever and has already replaced my former favorite chocolate cake recipe!
The icing is absolutely amazing, even on a white or yellow cake.
If anyone has had problems with "lack of taste", I suggest using the highest quality of chocolate that you can afford with instant espresso (or an extra 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee granules. I have tried varying qualities of chocolate and must admit that the average bar or bag of semi-sweet chocolate that you find in the grocery store just doesn't cut it. I have found that the best version that I have made uses a 4 oz. bar of "mildly sweet dark chocolate" blended with 6 tablespoons of dark European cocoa powder & 2 tablespoons oil blended together while the chocolate bar is melting. Yum!!

We were due for a Nor'easter and I was prepered to do some baking. Ina's cake hit the spot. A perfect combination of chocolate and coffee. The cake was dark and moist. The frosting was creamy and rich. My husband and I each had a piece last night and as usual I took the rest to work. It was gone by 10am. Thank you Ina.

Delicious, as usual. We appreciated the light textured cake...not heavy and the frosting is to die for!

Ina needs to rename this wonderful cake to Best Ever. I was leary about making this cake because I saw a few ( just a few negative comments. The contrast was so opposite that made me wonder. Wonder no more. This is the best Chocolate cake I have ever had and I have had some great ones. Those that said it was not good, well I don't know what planet they are on. Great Work Ina. Cyndi
