This cake is soooo good! And you definitely have to make the frosting. I almost just bought some frosting from the store, but then decided to make it and I am so glad I did. Everyone loved it!

We love this cake. I sometimes change the oven temp. according to the pan that I use.

I love making this recipe! Sometimes I use store bought frosting when I have more dishes to make. Everyone loves this cake!!!

Hi, I made this cake for my familiy's Oktoberfest party, and it was a hit. I don't really care for chocolate cake but everyone raves about it. It was then requested a few more times, and everyone asked where i got the recipe. This recipe was very easy to make. I used a 9 in spring form cheesecake pan, it was a little full but it worked great! but i had to allow for extra baking time, as it was thicker than the pan suggested. the frosting took forever while heating it to 160F, so I heated it to a med high heat rolling boil to let it thicken, constatnly sturring to not let it burn. I then put it in a bowl and set it aside for travel. the whole adventure took about an hour prep and 2 hours of baking time. Super easy once you get the hang of the frosting. Thanks for a great recipe.
