Seriously--the BEST chocolate cake ever! I don't have coffee liquer. We don't even drink coffee anything--but I keep on hand a small container of the instant coffee granules and just mix 1/2 cup hot water with a few spoonfuls of the coffee granules and substitute that for the coffee liquer and it works great! Oh--this really is just the best cake!! I make it all the time for my family and church potluck.

Wonderful base recipe! You can substitute or add most anything. I used choc. chips and pecans instead of raisins, whole wheat flour instead of white, and added flax seeds. I also did one with dried banana chips crushed up and walnuts and added 1/2 tsp. banana candy flavoring oil and they taste like banana bread!

Wonderful! The kids loved it, too! I used overripe peaches I didn't want to waste and just chopped them into 1/2 inch pieces, skin and all and I sprinkled the pecans on top after I put the batter in the pan. The cake was gone in a day~

ATTENTION: If you want your "fish" patties to turn out with more of a meat texture, purchase firm or extra firm tofu and freeze it before using. Then, thaw it in a colander and squeeze ALL the liquid out of it before you slice it. If you do not squeeze out the liquid, you will end up with a patty that is mushy and the breading WILL NOT STICK. If you are using the traditional block of tofu, slicing it into 5 or 6 slices also helps. Kelp powder is made from ocean kelp and adds lots of nutrients plus gives it more of a "fish" flavor. If you don't use it, its still good, but don't expect too much of a "fish" flavor. Excellent recipe if you use these tips! Thanks for a great recipe for vegetarians!!!

Very easy kids' recipie! My kids and I made these together. I don't think they will last until our church potluck in 2 days.... we'll have to make some more! Yea!

This is so perfect!!!!! I put the batter into a bundt pan instead of loaf pans and baked it the same amount of time. It was so perfect!! Thanks for a great recipie!!!
