A great cake! The cake turned out super soft and had a great texture. Personally I think it was missing a bit of sugar. If you are planning on adding frosting, then it would be perfect!

absolutely the best chocolate cake! my family loved it. If you have it, use the almond extract for the frosting instead of vanilla, totally worth it and adds a nice depth to the taste. I also used a cup of coffee from the morning's brew.

Very nice. Light, moist. Required some tweaks for 5000’ but better rise than most.
Decent butter cream recipe; substitute sour cream for 3 tbsp of the cow squeezings for a nice tang.

Very good cake. Made as directed, coffee too, but without the extra branded cocoa. Light and not too chocolatey. Perfect birthday cake

Made this for my birthday,it baked up so fast which I loved. I used brown sugar in the recipe and frosted it with a cream cheese frosting and also made a ganache for the top it was delicious the cake itself wasn't to sweet which is great.
