The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.73 star rating.

This recipe is a standout. My sister (who's a sweet freak)and her family loved this cake. My parents and hubby loved it as well. I loved that it is so extremely moist. The only thing that I need to mention is for you to MAKE SURE YOU LET THE CAKE SIT IN THE BUNDT PAN FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR and a half BEFORE TRYING TO EXTRACT IT. I tried extracting mine after 45 minutes, and it almost split into two. I topped it with Easy Chocolate Bundt Cake Glaze from this site, and freshly sliced strawberries from my garden. This cake is so impressive, my husband requested that I make it again for his boss's 4th of July party!

I wasn't impressed with this at all, which was extremely disappointing given the high reviews. I found the consistency of the cake to be too much like pudding and not enough like batter. Because of that I had to cook longer than an hour to get the inside done while the outer areas burned and hardened. Was way too much batter for a 10-inch Bundt pan. I won't be making this again.

Simply the best! I have made this at least once a month for the past few years because it is *the* cake requested for family birthdays and office potlucks, holidays, you name it. I have subbed milk and coffee for the liquer and they work equally well. My favorite way to serve this is frosted with thick homemade cream cheese frosting from the philly cream cheese recipe. To die for!

Bangin! I made the recipe exactly as instructed and it was out of this world. Rediculously chocolatey and rich, everyone loved it. The Coffee Liquor adds a really nice finish to the rich chocolate flavor. I'm going to try modifying the recipe some, maybe trying a vanilla version. Great recipe, definitely try it!

Only make this cake if you LOVE chocolate. It is very very rich. I made it exactly as written with 2 changes. I only added 1 cup of mini semi-sweet chips and used praline liqueor in place of coffee liqueor. Also, make sure you have something to drink with it. Other than that, I never thought I would think something was too chocolatey but this was!

My family's new all-time favorite! I don't keep coffee liqueur, so the first time I made it I replaced it with 1/2 cup of marichino cherry juice. Yummmmmmy! The next time I used 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, also very good. My crew liked the cherry juice the best, so that is probably how I will make it from now on.

I've been making this one for years. It's perfect for the chocolate lover in your life. I like to add Irish Cream once in a while instead of coffee liquor for a little change. Very moist and very rich. No need to frost this one!

this is a great cake. I baked it in a 9x13 pan with no adornment. It was a humble little thing on the dessert table, until someone tasted it!! I advise letting it sit for one day, as it is moister and denser. I subbed cool coffee for the kahlua. The coffee flavor really adds complexity. It was a big hit at thanksgiving. A little kid asked me, "is there a brownie in this cake?" 4 stars, because there may be room for improvement with a drizzle of ganache. ***update - I made it yet again with chopped up ghirardelli chocolate instead of mini chips - but i chopped it the size of mini chips - best ever

This is easy and consistently good. I use 1 cup of mini chips and make a glaze with the other cup, 2T of butter and 1T of liquer. I fill it with choc. mousse which is just 2 cups of heavy cream whipped with 1 pkg instant choc. pudding. Pour the glaze over, fill the center with mousse and top with sliced strawberries.

It's a very moist cake!! I actually wanna put a pic of it but it just gone so fast before i could even take a single picture. The calories frighten me a bit though so i altered the recipe a bit. I use only 400gr of light sour cream, 20ml oil and 60ml applesauce, and i used 60ml of strong brewed coffee and 60ml of kahlua. But i got to say, it is a bit bitter for my taste with that much coffee and liqueur. Maybe next time i'll add a bit of powdered sugar. And make sure to dust the pan with coco throughly (i used mix of coco powder n powdered sugar).

Seriously--the BEST chocolate cake ever! I don't have coffee liquer. We don't even drink coffee anything--but I keep on hand a small container of the instant coffee granules and just mix 1/2 cup hot water with a few spoonfuls of the coffee granules and substitute that for the coffee liquer and it works great! Oh--this really is just the best cake!! I make it all the time for my family and church potluck.

This was really good. But I could tell it was from a box. I usually make all cakes from scratch, but I needed dessert in a hurry. Very good, will make again.

All the reviews were so great that I had very high expectations however this wasn't as delish as I thought it would be. The problem is that I baked it on a Friday and waited til Sunday (48 hrs) to serve it. By then it wasn't as moist. I agree with the other reviewers - make sure you bake/serve same day. I'm sure it's fabulous that way. Bon Appetit!

If Chocolate is what you are craving this is the cake for you! I substitute strong black coffee for the liqure. It is moist and too rich for frosting. I make it in a bundt pan but a friend makes hers in loaf pans.

This is a very good cake, but I'd hardly say that it is a fabulous as the ratings suggest. I used Chambord and Ghiardelli cocoa with a dark chocolate (60% cacao) chunk instead of the chips. I used very high quality ingredients and found it just simply... good. I am not sure if I'll make this again nobody who ate it thought it was that special.

Great cake! I poured a can of cherry pie filling into the center of my bundt cake (once I turned it out onto the cake plate) and it was so beautiful! I served it for my sister's December birthday celebration and it was a hit!
