It doesn't fit in ONE 9" x 13" pan like the recipe says, mine ended up looking like a gigantic cupcake! Also,to me it tasted like a normal chocolate cake.

I made this cake on new years eve, and then, it was DEE-LISH-USS!!! But then I made it a second time, it was a bit dry and you could actually TASTE the coffee, which you're not supposed to. So when me and my mom made it a 3rd time, we changed it up a bit, we use 1 full cup of oil instead of 1/2, and added a bit more vanilla, and it was... THE BEST CAKE EVER! A keeper fo sho.

The cake was easy to make. Very good cake moist. I would make the cake again. The frosting no way. Do not know what I did to the frosting followed the directions to the letter and it turned out runny not fluffy thats for sure will not make frosting again

I don't care for chocolate cake, as a rule. But this one is the most delicious and moist chocolate cake I've ever had. It was the most often requested by my children as they were growing up. First rate in every way.

I was looking for a yummy moist chocolate cake and couldn't remember the last recipe I used. This looked very similar so I gave it a try. The cake itself was okay, but the frosting was an epic failure. The texture was perfect, but I didn't care for the taste. I was able to salvage it by adding 2 more cups of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk, but it still was not ideal. Next time I would definitely stick to a true buttercream and stay away from the paste:( I'm giving this two stars because to me, the frosting is 75% of the cake!
