Awesome! I made this for my brother's birthday, and it well received. I frosted with the Rich Chocolate Frosting recipe I found here. It was moist and delicious, even to one who doesn't like coffee!

This was very good except I forgot to flour my pan... my bad. I think next time I'm going to try hazelnut flavored coffee or a hazelnut icing. You don't even taste the coffee in the cake for those of you who don't like coffee.

I doubled this recipe and made 1 three-layered cake and 1 half-layered cake (to keep home). I made the Chocolate Ganache on this website (no rum) to frost in between layers (by whipping up a portion of the ganache) and to coat the cake (using the unwhipped ganache). I refrigerated the cake overnight then covered it with sliced strawberries. The whole thing was gone after the cake was cut and people asked for seconds! I'll definitely do this again. It's VERY simple, but the layers are super soft and I had to piece them together with the frosting. No one could taste the coffee, but it did enhance the chocolate flavor and gave the cake some extra oomph.

This cake was the BOMB! It was simple and easy but delicous. Very moist and chocolatey. The batter seemed thin after it was completely mixed, but it turned out perfect!

FOR SOME REASON I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THE FLAVOR OF THIS CAKE. THE TEXTURE WAS FINE. COLOR WAS DARK. SORRY I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THIS CAKE.

I used this recipe on Saturday and received wonderful reviews! The cake baked up nice and thick but still moist with the right amount of sweetness. I was a little cautious about the coffee but it gave the cake a robust added flavor that you barely recognized as coffee! My family and friends loved it! I paired the cake with the scrumptious penuche frosting for filling with strawberries. The result was a tad on the extreme sweet side, but the overall outcome was superb. This will be my go to chocolate cake recipe!

WOW!!! I've made a lot of cakes in my time, and this is BY FAR the best!! It so so moist and rich. We don't drink coffee, so I usually substitute a cup of double strength hot chocolate. A dash of cinnamon also gives it a lot of depth to the flavor.

Followed to a Tee. Amazing! It has the right colour too- not the light colour you get from other mixes. Beats a box mix by miles... No contest. I made it with my own coffee buttercream recipe... to DIE for. The best part is that it's so easy! Really is a one bowl recipe. Moist and has a weight, but not dense. Really is the perfect texture for a cake. I 40 minutes for 2 9" was perfect. Going to make these into cupcakes soon... Thank you!

I needed a good chocolate cake recipe for my mom's birthday and this was definitely a good choice. This cake is super super moist. I made it in two round pans and let them cool for 10 minutes and then put them in the freezer for another ten. I had no problem getting the cake to come out of the pans. I didn't have time to make an icing so I used good old Betty Crocker and it was very good.

This cake is pretty good. It is very moist and spongy, I also had problems getting it out of the pan but I realized later that I greased but forgot to flour my pan. The cake is better today, 2 days after I made it. Thanks for sharing!

I was looking for a chocolate cake like my mother's ( lost the recipe a couple of years ago). I was comfortable with the thin batter because my mom's was very thin, so I wasn't concerned with the result. The cake baked up very moist, dark and chocolatey. I topped it with Whipped Cream Icing. It was super yummy! I work as a 911 dispatcher and took it to the office for a co-worker's birthday. One deputy had a piece and soon they were all there. There wasn't a crumb left! Thanks for the recipe, Marsha. This is now the only chocolate cake for me. It reminds me of my mom's.

So yummy and moist! I brought into work, and all the staff and the customers gobbled it up. I made it with Coffee Buttercream Frosting from this site, and they made an awesome combination. Thank you!

This was good, but not as moist as I wanted it to be. The only thing I did differently was to sub milk & a touch of vinegar for the buttermilk, as I realized I did not have buttermilk. I usually love chocolate cakes made w/coffee, so I was looking forward to trying it (plus, PJ on the RE is a fan of this cake, so that's an endorsement I respect!). It's a good cake and I'll try it again to see if it was user error that made it not quite as moist as I'd like it to be.

I like this cake. It is moist and flavorful. It is a delicate cake though. It didn't stand up to much handling (I was trying to slice in half it to make an ice cream layer). I think I'll stick to using it as a two layer round cake - where I'm sure it will be perfect.

This thing is so BLACK! It is a VERY MOIST and RICH chocolate cake and it is what a chocolate cake should taste like!! Love it so much. I decreased the sugar from 2 cups to one and one half cup. It has the perfect sweetness. Now, I just made the Chocolate Ganache from this site and I used low fat milk instead of cream (what was I thinking) and it turned out very runny and I don't think I can glaze the cake with this but it's still sitting in the fridge hoping it will thicken up a little enough to glaze the cake.
