This is a MARVELLOUS TASTY cake! I made this today for our April Fools party and it was gone in seconds! Luckily, me, the baker, got a few crumbs to munch on, lol;) This is a really really tasty cake. I did use a little milk when preparing the coffee, that's the only addition I made. Also, your right about the icing---spreads beautifully and looks awesome on top! Thanks a hundred and one times for the recipe!!

Beautiful cake! So easy to make and no effort at all. I made this for a work collegue. Staff went back for seconds. They thought the cake had been professionally made. I dusted the top with icing sugar (confectioners sugar) and had a chocolate sauce made with melted milk chocolate buttons and cream. In my oven it took 55 minutes to cook. The cake was cracked on top which gave it character and the reason I chose not to ice it. Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I'll be baking this one again.

this was pretty good, however I baked it for the 45 min and the bottom of the bake was a tad hard (not burnt, just a little on the rough side). I used 2 round pans, and the cake rose alot, so i had to even it out, to frost with mean chef's chocolate frosting...i will be posting a pic of it in a few days.
