This recipe was terrible! I did everything that the recipe asked, and it turned out really bad. The cake was the same texture of a brownie, but almost thicker than that. The frosting that was paired with it was good, and that's why I gave it one star. I made this for my brothers b-day, and everyone hated it! How sad is that?

I made this cake for my husband's birthday. He loved it!!! It was very moist and rich tasting. I followed the recipe exactly, but I like the idea of substituting the buttermilk for half sour cream/half skim milk - i hate buying a quart of buttermilk for only a half cup's worth. I'm thinking I might substitute vanilla yogurt for the plain, simply because I can tolerate eating the leftover yogurt a little better.

This recipe was a disaster. The first time I tried it, I followed it exactly. I did everything exactly as instructed. I allowed the cake to cool completely. It fell apart and had no taste. Yes, it was moist, but it was so moist that it stuck to the top of my mouth and was incredibly difficult to eat. But I still was willing to give the recipe a chance. I thought with some changes I could make it have some flavor. No amount of changes will make this recipe good. I have made three cakes based on this recipe, all of which are inedible. I am very good at baking. Almost everything I make turns out well. This recipe seems like it should be good, but it is, in fact, the worst recipe I have tried on allrecipes.com.

The coca cola flavor in this cake just wasn't my thing.

This cake was very moist and delicious. I made a few changes as suggested by other reviewers. I added 1/2 teaspoon each of baking powder and salt. I also used Dr. Pepper instead of cola. I topped and filled it with Coconut Pecan Frosting I by Marsha. I frosted the sides with a rich chocolate buttercream. Yum Yum.

WOW this turned out amazing!! I'm just a 20 year old college student who has never baked a cake in her life, and we had a Sunday dinner with a group of friends and it was SUCH a hit! Everyone had like 3 pieces they liked it so much! However, I didn't use german chocolate, i used semi-sweet and used like 6 oz. And since I had no buttermilk I did half a portion of sour cream and skim milk instead. Will def make again, and if I can do this pretty much anyone can! ;)

This wasn't as moist as I expected, but it was a good cake. I increased the german chocolate to 6 ounces. I did not have round cake pans, so I baked in a 9 x 13 square pan and crossed my fingers. The cake was done perfectly at the recommended time! ** I need to update this two days later - after the cake came out of the oven, I frosted it 24 hours later. It was good then. I had some the next day (48 hours on the clock) and it was FANTASTIC. Do try to make this cake 2 days ahead if possible, it becomes more moist with time!

I can make this, but I can't keep it in the house!! Personally I find most cakes to dry for my taste, BUT this is perfectly moist and wonderful. I'm trying out different frostings with it, but this recipe is amazing!!
