This cake is the first I made and it was awesome and easy! I spread a thin layer of chocolate syrup on top and it turned out great. Tips: Use 1/8 more sugar and half the cocoa powder to 1/4 cup. It will make the cake a bit less black and it will taste just as great!

made allot of dishes, but was awfully good!!

I have made this for my friends probably 6-8 times - for birthdays, for dinner parties, for a girls' night in. Each time it gets rave reviews. I just pour 200 grams (~7 oz) of melted plain chocolate over it, and it gets comments like "the most amazing chocolate cake ever". I've also experimented - I've added freshly squeezed orange juice, and garnished with orange slices - that was a hit.

Have made this cake again and again! It is now a favourite with anyone who has tried it! I made it with plain water (in place of the coffee) and missed ou the vanilla extract, but it was just as delicious! I am sure to make this many more times than I already have!

Perfect! I made no changes. I too hesitated because I don't drink or like coffee, so I was worried that the cake would taste like coffee - it didn't! Instead, it gave it a unique flavor not achievable with either water or milk. The texture was wonderful. Here's a hint for novices: this texture is only achieved if your butter/sugar mixture does NOT separate when you add the egg. So scramble the egg briefly and add it to the mixture a little at a time). Instead of icing, I put (Stonyfield) yogurt on it (full fat and plain as I like it) while my husband ate his cake with vanilla ice cream. A keeper! Thank you. BTW this cake is just as delicious plain or with some walnuts in it.

it was nice, but i made the coffee too strong cuz of which the cake was kind of bitter, yummy with simple cream....

I've made this cake twice in the last week: once for my future in-laws and once for my family. It was SO easy and absolutely delicious. I don't drink coffee so I was a little worried it would taste like coffee, but it didn't. This cake was moist, not too rich and with a nice crumb. I served it with vanilla frozen yogurt and berries. ONE THING: I found that it was done perfectly after 30 minutes...everyone's oven is different so I always recommend checking early instead of too late!

Delicious! I made cupcakes instead of a cake. I also used a about 1/4 tsp almond extract and 3/4 tsp vanilla instead of only vanilla. This was a great idea. It reminds me of swiss almond chocolate coffee. Very rich and flavorful.

This is exactly the recipe I was looking for to cure my chocolate cake craving. Moist rich and very chocolatey. I drizzled a chocolate glaze on top, but it's good enough to stand on it's own. Will definitely be making this again, though I might double the recipe!

I use a light boiled frosting with chocolate shavings to dress it up.Then I chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving.WONDERFUL taste.

I used a Irish Cream coffee brew to make it and it tastes fantastic. Add to that a mild chocolate frosting laced with Baileys (in my case heavily laced) and it's a yummy combination. Definitely a hit with everyone at home.

Sorry but just did not like this cake. Don't know why, but to our family it was missing something.

SO moist and SO dark! Amazing with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Freezes like a DREAM!

chocolatey and moist, but abit too soft.

Very moist with a good tender crumb. I added a thin chocolate glaze very good!

This cake is a real winner! My children were concerned that it would taste like a coffee cake because of the coffee in it, but it didn't to their relief! It has a rich, moist chocolatey flavour. Easy to make too. The kids verdict was "YUMMY!!"

This was easy and excellent!! Very moist. Made a simple chocolate frosting and used Kahlua as part of the liquid. Will make this one often.
