    Made this cake four times now and can't get enough of it. I believe it's the coffee that makes it so good. One concern the raw egg in the frosting. I wrote to cooking channel and they thought I was talking about the cake. They never responded to my follow up. Never got sick after four cakes so I guess its fine.The cake is great but the Frosting is what buts it over the top.Again I believe it's the coffee. Great find.

    This cake was absolutely the one of the best!. I am not a big chocolate fan nor do I do well on baking cakes. I chose this recipe to conquer my fear. The only set back was that the frosting almost overpowered the cake which is so moist and choclatey. It may have been because I used Starbucks instant coffee. I will try the suggestion of the other frosting by another reader. But everyone I gave a piece of this cake to said it was the best they had ever tasted. This is definitely a keeper!

    This cake was a total failure. It sank in the middle and I ended up throwing it out. I triple checked the recipe and I followed it exactly. Maybe I needed to beat it for more time? I did what it says.

    The cake is good, But I have the ultimate chocolate frosting. (I promise you won't be disappointed. 1 stick salted butter,1 1/2 cups granulated sugar,1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder,1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream,1/4 cup sour cream,1 teaspoon instant coffee granules,2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Melt butter in saucepan, add sugar. When sugar starts to melt, stir in cocoa (the roughness of the sugar will break up any cocoa lumps. Cook on medium. stirring, until sugar is dissolved. DO NOT BOIL. Chill well. Beat until light and fluffy. Absolutely delicious!!!

    I just love Ina's recipes , however, the raw egg yolk in the frosting is something I would never add. Otherwise, a great cake recipe!

    This cake is AMAZING! I have made it several times and it has turned out wonderfully each time. I'm not too crazy about the frosting, I may try something different next time but everyone who eats my cake seems to like it.
