This was a great recipe to try with a 9 year old, she was able to conquer all the steps and it was moist and gone in one night! Beats any box cake too! I even had all the ingredients in the cupboard! Thanks for such an easy and tasty recipe!

Just finished making Chocolate Cake V and it is delightful! I halved the recipe and I'd suggest a cooking time of approximately 35 minutes if you do this. I also love how you add coffee to the cocoa in this recipe. Never heard of that before with chocolate cake, brilliant!

I love this recipe! The coffee adds a whole new layer of flavor! It's rich and delicious and tastes even better with some chocolate chips thrown in (1/4 cup) ...DELICIOUS!!!!

Easy to mix up and the flavor is good. However, while I wouldn't go so far as to say the cake is dry, it isn't as moist a chocolate cake as it could or should be. I used a half recipe, for cupcakes, and was very careful with the baking time so as not to overbake. A good blob of "White Cake Frosting II" helped mitigate the dryness.

I don't know what I did wrong, but this cake took forever to cook. When I thought it was done it wasn't. It was very dense and dark in color. Not going to try again.

This is so good and so easy! It's not too sweet and it is extremely moist. I was worried that it would dry out based on another review, but it was even more moist today than right after I made it yesterday. Great recipe!

So yummy! I used this recipe for my son's 2 yr. birthday party. I followed the directions as is except for the coffee and used hot water instead. I got so many compliments on it. I will have to try it with the coffee when I'm not making it for a big crowd. Will definately use this one again.

Amazing!!! I made this cake yesterday. I followed the recipe, but instead of flouring my 9x13 pan, i used sugar!! The cake came right up off of the pan. Also it added a sweetness to the edges! The kind that melts in your mouth!! I use sugar instead of flour for everything!

The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because it wasn't as rich or fudge as I like chocolate cake to be. That being said, it was very easy to make and I loved the addition of the coffee. I put it in a tube pan and had to increase the cooking time (I believe by 20 minutes), and topped it with Chocolate Pecan Praline Sauce from another site, which soaked in and made it so fabulous!
