It's amazing how moist this cake is. I also wondered about whether I put the ingredients together properly since the batter was like water. Sure enough, it was OK! I will try making cupcakes next time.

My husband called this the "Perfect Chocolate Cake" I filled with Chocoalte Mousse from another recipe. Must bake for the full 40 Minutes. Let cakes cool completely and had no problem getting them out! Great Chocolate Cake Base Receipe, will make again.

This is an awesome cake-especially considering how easy it is! It's rich, fudgy, dense, very tasty. This has become a household favorite, especially for packed school lunches.

I've made this several times now and each time it comes out perfect. I make a chocolate ganche for the frosting and it's a hit each time.

I made it in a bundt pan. Super easy to make. 40-45 mins in the oven. I used the One Minute Chocolate Icing for it. oooohhhh...this is just what every woman needs! I will be making this one again. ;) Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I am giving it 3 stars only because I made this cake using a sugar substitue for a diabetic's birthday. Needless to say it was awful. So I am sure the cake is good just make sure to use real sugar!!

Excellent dense, moist chocolate cake. I must admit that I forgot the oil. I had the cake in the oven for less than 5 mins. I took it out, dumped the 2 round pans of batter back in the mixing bowl, poured in the oil, quickly mixed it, then poured it back in the pans and into the oven. It took longer to bake than the recipe stated, but it still turned out to be a very good cake. ;)

When I read the reviews for this recipe one thing I saw over and over was how moist this cake is...boy are they right this cake is MOIST in a big way. I now have a new favorite chocolate cake recipe, I can't say how many compliments I got on this cake. The coffee amplifies the chocolate flavor nicely while the buttermilk tenderizes and veg oil helps produce the signature moistness. I did have to bake it longer than suggested though so do keep an eye out for that and tip to anyone who doesn't happen to have buttermilk in the fridge or doesn't want to purchase it just for one recipe, just add 1 tbs of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup milk or plain yogurt and voila!

This cake was the best cake I have ever had in my life. I was a little hesitant about the coffee, but you couldnt even taste or smell it. I would recommend this to everyone moist, delicious, and never need to buy cake mix from a box again!

I was hesitant about the chocolate frosting on a chocolate cake because I thought it would be too sweet, but this is by far the BEST cake I have ever had in my entire life! I topped mine with a berry mix including raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. Arranged properly, the result was a stunning presentation of a delicious cake!

One of the best chocolate cakes I have ever made. I used cocoa that I got at an Amish Grocery called "Black Cocoa Powder XTra Rich" it is really dark and the cake came out almost true black. I did use wax paper in the bottom of my pans and had no trouble getting the cake out. Thanks for a great recipe

I have never made a "from scratch" cake before and I have to say.. this recipe was a cinch! Moist and delicious! I was worried about all the troubles other reviewers were having with getting it out of the pan. I greased with crisco and floured well, put it straight from the oven into the freezer for about 20 minutes. Took it out and knocked on the sides and bottom and Voila! out it popped! I made this for my sister's bday and will make again for my nephew's... Goodbye boxed cake mixes!!! oh.. I increased the time by about 5min.:)

WOW! What an amazing recipe! This reminded me of a cupcake I've had at an upscale cupcake shop (sprinkles). I served this with a butter cream frosting and everyone loved it. Thank you for sharing...

Absolutely perfect. I followed this recipe to a T and nothing went wrong. It's so easy to make and it tastes absolutely delicious. It is so moist and has the perfect sweetness balance to it. I will most definitely make it again. and again and again and again!
