Excellent cake!! Extremely moist and delicious! I agree that you could cut back on the oil some (maybe halve it) and it would still be a great cake. The cupcake papers were pretty oily, but nobody seemed to mind. 
I used Chocolate Silk coffee and it complimented the cake beautifully. I also cut back on the sugar since we prefer our cakes to not be super sweet so that it is more of a contrast to the icing. Thanks for sharing this exceptional recipe!

This cake disappears! I made if for a party and it was the first dessert gone! Everyone loved it, and it's so easy! I used a really bold roast of coffee (sumatra), and I think that helped to give it a nice mocha flavor. I frosted it with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting #192894 and it was a perfect combination in my opinion! Thanks for a great, easy recipe!

I made this cake for my daughter's birthday yesterday. My whole family enjoyed it. I made it just as the recipe was written and I thought that it called for too much liquid for the amount of dry ingredients and I was right. The batter is quite thin and it took more like 50 - 55 minutes to bake rather than the 30 minutes the recipe calls for so next time I'll plan for more baking time. It was very good, moist and dense, but didn't have much of a coffee taste. It reminded me of the taste of oreos so next time I'll use a vanilla filling between layers. Thanks, Marie!

You are so right about this cake, its easier than a box mix and tastes 100% better. I have been making this cake for a long time. Love it!! I have made it with regular icing and I have made it with a whipped cream topping, and in the middle cherries soaked in kahula. Mine cooks in exactly 30 minutes. Thanks for posting Marie
