Firt time I made this cake I took it to a party and it was gone in no time. One of the best cakes I have ever had. I thought about taking this recipe and the regular Italian Cream Cake recipe and making one cake either chocolate or white. It's a thought. Thanks for the recipe.

My daughter made this for a project for her high school Italian cake. Her teacher who is from Milan thought it was delicious and authentic!!

I baked this cake in two 10" cake pans and cut each cake to make four layers. I doubled the cocoa in the cake and the icing. I also made extra icing for the cake. Excellent recipe!!!!!!

i like it this recipe. a little rich but good. my husband on the other hand loves it. have to watch with the powdered sugar to make sure the icing doesn't get to thick though. people in my family love it as well.

The Ladies at my church were having Italian night so I thought I would make a Italian Dessert. I found a Chocolate Italian Cream Cake submitted by Holly that sounded really good. Well I made it and all the ladies thought it was wonderful it was all ate, it was truly a wonderful cake I give it 5 stars, and I am not even Italian. VERY GOOD!!!

After making some of the changes recommended by previous reviewers and adding some of my own, this absolutely gets 5 stars!! Definitely double cocoa in cake, also add a tsp or two of instant espresso (or coffee) to buttermilk. Add 2 or 3 squares of melted chocolate to frosting depending on your tastes (mmm...heaven). Process nuts and coconut until they're finely ground before adding to batter. Do not add pecans to frosting, rather press finely chopped pecans into the sides of frosted cake - looks bakery-quality and adds great texture. Decoratively pipe leftover frosting on top of cake and garnish with chocolate-covered expresso beans. This is a dessert to die for!!!

Thanks for everyone's great comments - I, too, added more chocolate. This was my first cake and it got rave reviews. There's still a bit left after two days and it hasn't dried out! (Yes, I'm keeping it in a tupperware, but still!) If I were to make any changes next time, I would add bits of shaved semisweet chocolate to the frosting.

This cake rules. I had never made an Italian Creme Cake before (and I am Italian) but this was really simple and tasted like a dream. My sister and I whipped this together for a party and everybody loved it. We will be making it again for our Christmas gathering. Thanks so much!!!

Wow! This the first cake that I've ever made, and it turned out great! Everyone loved it. I doubled the cocoa, as was mentioned by others. The only things that could have gone better were that I could have put more icing in between the layers, and it was a bit tall. Even without those improvements, it turned out to be delicious and handsome. Thanks to however submitted this recipe!

This cake is fabulous! I took suggestions and doubled the cocoa. However, it no longer tastes like an Italian cream cake. It is just a fantastic chocolate cake.

I made this cake for Thanksgiving. Once I chopped the nuts, sifted the flour and confectioner's sugar, and measured everything; the cake was easy to put together. My family absolutely loved it. The only big chocolate lover in the family is me, but they were all crazy about it. I did doubled the recipe on cocoa, but I think I'm going to try it again with chocolate squares. I got the coconut at a health food store, so it wasn't sweetened. It's a terrific recipe.

We served a variety of Italian desserts at my wedding dinner, some baked by friends and family, others by professional bakers. This one ,which my mother made, was by far the best. Everyone, even the other bakers, raved.

This cake recipe is one of the best. I have very discriminating friends and family when it comes to food, and this cake is on the top of their lists! It takes a while to make but is worth it for special occasions and is now an anticipated event.

This is the best cake I’ve ever had! The frosting is great and the rest is moist, chewy, and sweet. This cake takes a little effort but it’s absolutely worth it. You’ve got to try making it! Double the cocoa for an even better taste!

I made this for a small resturaunt in the community and everyone loved it. They commented on the moistness of the cake and the flavor of the icing. The coconut adds a nice texture and sweetness to the cake.
