I made this thinking it would satisfy my craving for chocolate and coffee. The cake for me just wasn't a good combo of flavors. It took not 15-20 minutes to bake but 35. It was moist! I followed the recipe as it was because i feel we are to rate/ review the recipes as they are. Not one of my favorites Read More

Pretty good not chocolatey enough for my family though. I didnt have a 10x15 pan so used a 9x13 it took about 5 min. longer to bake. I used egg substitute fat free sweetened condensed milk and replaced the 1 c margarine with 1/2 cup butter and half cup unsweetened applesauce in the cake recipe. The glaze was yummy! Read More

Took a chance and served this at a dinner party for twenty people without actually trying it first. It's great as is best warm. I served it with a scoop of premium vanilla ice cream and sprinkled a little cinnamon sugar on top toasted almonds too (if you like). Everyone loved it!!! Husband says you can make that one again!

I found this cake to be somewhat dry despite all the oil that is in it. The glaze was very pasty and unappetizing. Read More

I decided this would make a pretty fun cupcakes for a dinner party. I used strong brewed coffee instead of water and instant coffee... dipped them into the warm glaze and sprinkled cinnamon sugar toasted almonds on top instead of folding them in. Be sure not to overcook to keep them moist! They taste just like Mexican Hot Cocoa! And are pretty too! Read More
