I give this cake 5 stars, however I had one reservation—The frosting could be improved. The cake portion was probably one of the best “from scratch” cakes I have ever made and it is RICH and delicious! I will continue to search out the perfect frosting, however anyone that makes this cake will not be disappointed. It is definitely wonderful. Be sure to use the best quality cocoa as it certainly made a difference in mine. Thanks for the recipe! This is definitely going to be a keeper for me!

This was a great cake - very rich and tasty!!! Be prepared for a lot of dirty dishes. The only small problem that I had was with the chocolate frosting - when I stirred the powdered sugar into the butter/chocolate/cream mixture, it didn't totally mix in. Even after whipping it back up after it was cool, I felt like there was still little chunks of powdered sugar. I think the next time I make it I will use my mixer to really mix in the powdered sugar before I refrigerate it.

Awesome cake!!! I made this for my mother in law and she couldn't get enough of it. This is the first cake I have ever made from scratch and it turned out great.
