I made it for my mom's birthday and was a hit. I left out the sugar in the buttercream and used dark chocolate chips - and also toasted some coconut which got added between the layers (all 7 of them!) and sprinkled on the sides. Again thanks, I loved how the espresso flavor really came through Thanks for this! I made it for my mom’s birthday and was a hit.

Even imperfect, however (I think there will be a greater tendency for it to dip in the middle), nobody will care. This cake is very, very good for coffee and chocolate lovers.

Seems to spoil it. I used quality chocolate 70% however, I still found the frosting over sweet and gritty, buttercream isnt my favourite. Seems to spoil it.

Because I only own two short pans, I halved the batter and made two cake layers. Also, I combined the frosting by hand and I used strong coffee in lieu of espresso. Nevermind. It was fantastic and I will definitely be making this again in the future for everyone I know. Love this and your Best Birthday Cake recipe! Now I'm gonna browse the archives for some more gems. What can I say. I have never made a recipe of yours that I didn't love. Thank you! I just made this with minor changes as a surprise for my husband and we both think it’s absolutely delish.

What to do with the chocolate? Melt it and put it in melted? What if you don’t have a food processor? What to do with the chocolate?

I used ghirardelli chocolate as that was the best aailabe at pathmart that day, and the frosting was more of a coffee color- I think if I made it again I would double the chocolate like Marilou- if just for a deeper color. Yum. Hi Deb, I made the buttercream frosting to pair with your perfect birthday cake for my daughter’s 3rd birthday and all 20 guests absolutely loved this frosting!!!
