This was a good cake. I did take the advise of others and add more oil (1 1/3 cups) and thank goodness I doubled the frosting recipe. The cake was very moist, however, the frosting was a bit too bitter...I used milk choc chips instead of semi sweet and it took some of the bitterness from the frosting...but not quite enough. All in all, I will make again, however I'll try a different frosting next time. Thank Barb, It was very tasty!

I made this cake for my husbands birthday. I added two layers, buttercream frosting and sprinkled the sides with walnuts. It was so easy and so moist and delicious! I will for sure make again... and again...

Good texture, easy to make, nothing WRONG with it... but this is not a knock-your-socks off chocolate cake. I used the Chocolate Ganache recipe (AR) which saved the cake. If I make this again I'll definitely double the cocoa powder.

This is my favorite recipe of all time, I ask my sister to make it for my birthday every year and everyone who has it is floored. It's not too sweet and the coffee adds to the dark chocolate mocha flavor. BEST FROSTING, I eat with spoon!

I've made this cake many times, and my clients always love it! I like to chop a very dark chocolate bar and a light chocolate bar, instead of using chocolate chips. Just make sure to use a good quality chocolate. Thanks Barb!!
