This cake was so yummy! It turned out light and moist. I used weak coffee because a couple people in my family hate coffee, and you can't taste it, it just enhances the chocolate. This was moist and fluffy and EASY...this will be my "go-to" recipe for chocolate cake.

This was possibly the best all around chocolate cake I have ever made. And I have made many. It was easy, it popped right out of the cake pan and was delicious. The only thing missing was the frustration that often accompanies baking cakes! I did leave out the coffee and replaced it with sour cream.

Could use a little more chocolate flavor. Will add a little more cocoa powder next time. Very moist cake and I received rave reviews. Frosted it with buttercream frosting. Next time, will use a chocolate ganache frosting!

I don't eat chocolate cake but I made it for valentines day for my husband- and he loved it. He kept saying you outdid yourself, I laughed because it was the easiest from scratch recipe I ever made! I made the coffee strong, so I think that it gave the cake a more bold coffee flavor which I like. The only reason it gets 4 stars and not 5 is because it fell apart when I took it out of the pan. I greased it pan, so I don't know why it did that. Maybe it was because it didn't cool enough? I don't know. But well worth trying again!

MMMMMMMMM!! So tasty! Although I don't like coffee in my cakes, so instead I used Sour Cream. Turned out GREAT! I used it in the Betty Crocker ice cream cake thingy. I used Butter Pecan ice cream. YUMMMMM! :) :) :) :)

I truly enjoyed the flavors and texture of this cake. This recipe was quick and easy and it didn't disappoint. I made it for my boyfriend's birthday with chocolate fudge icing and he couldn't have been more pleased. It won't take the place of my mom's chocolate cake, but for a quick in a pinch recipe that doesn't take a lot of time or ingredients, but has a great flavor, this was perfect!

5 stars for moistness (?), but could do with a bit more chocolatey taste. Then again, the cocoa powder wasn't at its freshest... Kids loved it

I loved it! It is simple and quick, and at the same time I've used this recipe to experiment and I came up with great ideas! Instead of using 2 eggs, I tried 4 egg whites, I also substituted the cocoa with chopped nuts... It is an awesome recipe for someone who's learning to bake! It was actually the first cake I ever made by my self!

Wow! Thanks for a great recipe. I used this with "Coffee Butter Frosting" from this site (increasing the strength of coffee in both) to make a delicous coffee and chocolate cake for my man. I then decorated with chocolate vermicelli. We all licked our lips after this! Yum

This was okay. There was nothing wrong with it but nothing that made me want to have a repeat performance. It wasn't chocolaty, it wasn't coffeeish, it was just blah.

I couldn't decide between a 3 or 4 rating for this cake -- it was ok but nothing great. The recipe is similar to that found at the back of Hershey's cocoa, just with coffee in it.
