Coleen Keefer (Ohio) says:

This cake recipe is excellent. I am not a great cook and have never made a cake from scratch before. This recipe was so easy and it was wonderful. I would make the cake the day before you plan on eating or serving it so it has time to set.

Richard McNaughton (North Carolina) says:

I have made this cake for a number of friends and family. Each time it is the hit of the dessert tray. I do add a tsp of instant coffee grounds to the cup of hot water to enhance the chocolate flavor. It has become the choice of family and friends who request a birthday cake.
