The cake part was ok but the icing was WAY too sweet.If I make this again,which I doubt,I'll whip up some whipping cream and add a teasoon of coffee granules to it and a bit of sugar and vanilla.

I reviewed this based on a variation in the past and I realised that it was unfair of me. I will try this again as originally posted :).

I made this cake 3 times in 2 weeks. Everyone loved it and had seconds. The only thing I thought could be improved was the frosting...it was a bit too sweet.

Delicious! The only change I made was to use 1 1/2 c. boiling coffee instead of water to make it a little more coffee-ish. It was a big hit at my office party!

This was an unbelievably moist and delicious cake and the frosting was outstanding - rich, creamy, with a luscious coffee flavor. I used only three cups of confectioners sugar (it was all I had), and that was just right. I used soy milk and margarine to make it non-dairy, I made it a layer cake, and sprinkled some crushed hazelnuts on top. The oatmeal gave it a more sophisticated flavor and an interesting texture to complement the frosting. It turned out to be an elegant dessert!

While searching for a Valentine's Day cake recipe, I realized there wasn't that much ingredients to choose from in my pantry. Finally, when I chose this recipe, I used it, and my family loved it! The icing was great- it tasted like coffee ice cream- and I added cream cheese in it and didn't have the vanilla extract. I'd recommend it if you like chocolate and coffee! It tastes like one of those toffee filling candies in the Valentine chocolate boxes. :) Very moist.
