Terrific cake! Extremely moist and easy to make. I was a bit concerned about the batter as it was extremely watery. But the reviews indicated that it's expected so I took a leap of faith - and viola - fabulous chocolate cake emerged after 30 minutes. My hubby loves the moist and deep chocolate flavor.

Great chocolate cake! This is my go to recipe chocolate cake! My brother was concerned it would taste too much like coffee, but you couldn't taste it at all, it just enhanced the chocolate flavour!

I made this cake for my husbands bday and it was amazing, not too sweet because it has a dark chocolate flavor, I used the chocolate ganache recipe from this site for a filling between the cakes and then made the creamy chocolate frosting also from this site to top the cake, It was really good, and not overly sweet :) thanks for the amazing recipe.

Followed the directions exactly. Used Hershey's cocoa and got a small starbuck's dark roast coffee (I don't own a coffee pot). The coffee was still hot when i added it, but it didnt' seem to make a difference. made 24 cupcakes which took 18 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Everyone at worked raved about them. Super moist :)

My family Loves this cake best of all the chocolate cakes, and they are chocolate fanatics! It's reliable, always tender, moist chocolaty and delicious, and its easy to make. Using real buttermilk makes a difference, so use it if you have it, and be sure to make the coffee very strong. If you have trouble removing the cake layers from the pans, you can grease the pans, then line the bottoms with greased parchment or waxed paper cut to fit, before flouring. This makes a wonderful layer cake and works well with many different frostings.

I've probably served this cake to over 100 people and everyone has said it's the best cake they've ever had. Its the only recipe I'll use. My secret is Valhrona Chocolate, and a NICE cup of strong coffee. It makes a BIG difference. Even people who don't appreciate nice things will taste the difference. If I'm planning on icing it and need to be sure i'll do a good job I'll evaporate the coffee so it's less than 1 cup but still has all the flavor... so the cake isn't as wet. I didn't have butter milk so I made some with 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice set aside for a few minutes.

This recipe made delicious cupcakes. I halved the recipe and it was plenty for a dozen moist chocolate cupcakes. I do want to confess to my disastrous attempt at using this recipe for cakes, not to the fault of the person who submitted this recipe which is why it doesn't reduce the stars I'm giving it. I didn't pay attention and baked my cakes thinking I was going to use them and make Black Forest Cake. I cannot stress enough how important it is to remove those cakes from the baking pans after cooling for ONLY 10 minutes. I left mine for several hours without thinking anything of it and they wouldn't come out at all. My husband said it was so depressing to smell chocolate every time he lifted the trash lid! LOL!! So, I'm going to attempt that again and don't anticipate any problem.
