not bad but I ink that if I added coffee to my normal chocolate cake recipe it might be better.

Previous reviewers have described this cake as moist but I'd say its too moist - almost gluey and chewy and you'll definitely have to add more coffee for a stronger mocha flavour

This recipe has instantly become a favorite. I followed this recipe to bake my first cake in my outdoor wood burning oven! After baking bread, I let the oven cool just a bit. The cake baked beautifully! Great, easy recipe to make a rich chocolate/mocha cake. Thanks!

So good! I doubled the amount of coffee. For those who said you couldn't taste the coffee, the main reason you add coffee to a chocolate cake is to intensify the chocolate flavor. This one definitely did taste chocolatey! The edges had a nice crispness to them which we loved. This will now be my go-to chocolate cake recipe.

It's sort of lacking in flavour.. I can taste only a bit of mocha. This is quite disappointing, because I added 6 tablespoons of mocha cappuccino powder. I'll try to add more next time. Good thing I added some orange juice, or else the cake would have been completely flavourless. :)

I made this cake last night, for today's dinner and it was very, very good. The only thing was that it didn't really taste like coffee, and I even doubled the amount. But, still, it was a very good chocolate cake. Not too sweet. I put butter coffee frosting which I also found on this website. It was very good, and thick enough to put on with a piping bag. I will definitely make this again. Everyone loved it!

Wow, I was not expecting such rave reviews from everyone!! I have made sooooo many similar chocolate cakes before, I just thought this one would get a regular average raction. Most said,"this is the ultimate chocoalte cake!!" My brother said it would be perfect for a wedding cake! The texture was so perfect. A slight crisp on the outside, chewy and chocolatey on the inside, yummy! It was very easy to take out of the pans.(I did flour the pans as well). Also very easy to cut each cake in two to make four layers total. I filled two layers with chocolate ganache, and one layer with marshmallow cream cheese icing, and topped with coffee frosting from this site. I did double the coffee but used decaf to make it more child friendly, or suitable for non-coffee drinkers and added a splash of vanilla. The flavour came through perfectly. For a hard to please family, let me tell you, this cake was truly awesome! Thanks for sharing the recipe :) !!

This would get five stars for moist and ease, but I'm giving it four because I could barely taste the coffee - and that was after doubling the coffee powder. I used soy milk instead of regular and replaced half of the oil with applesauce; both changes worked well. I frosted it with coffee butter frosting from this site, that helped up the coffee flavor a bit.
