I tried this recipe twice, the first time the mousse was too runny .the second time I reduced the water to 1/3 cup and it was perfect. I got rave reviews from everyone who tried it.

This recipe was very good, however, it calls for 1 cup hot, brewed coffee. Since I cannot have that, I was wondering what I could use in its place and still reseve the awesome flavor?

This cake was rich but also light and smooth. I made it two days ahead of time but it still didn't set up when I removed the sides of the springform pan. I had an 8-inch or 10-inch springform pan so I used the smaller one. Maybe I should have used the larger one so it wasn't so thick. Otherwise, the flavor was great!

It took some time, but was well worth it. I did rush the set time, next time will let it set longer. Everyone loved it.

This cake may be a little labor intensive, but it is well worth the effort. Not only is it a beautiful cake, but the taste is to die for. It really does need to set for 1-2 days in the fridge so that it is firm enough. I made this for Thanksgiving and my family fell in love!

This cake is really elegant however DO NOT try to make it without a springform pan. I tried to just mold the moose onto the cake after the moose set and let's just say it wasn't pretty. The ganache was not smooth and it squished everywhere.

In the direction, step 4 indicates to set for 1 to 2 days. I wonder if this is a typo or real. If it's real, why such a long time before the cake is ready. Any reason? The taste was OK.

The best chocolate cake my family and our friends have ever had! It looks like ready made when finished. However, it takes time!

OH MY GOODNESS! This was DELICIOUS!!! I used this recipe for a formal dinner party and my guests were absolutely raving. I was even asked if I catered professionally. It did take a lot of time and chocolate but was definitely worth it. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
