Black Joe Cake

Mimi in Maine's Note:

I got this recipe from a very dear friend. This absolutely the very best chocolate cake ever. It is the most requested at family gatherings frosted with the Whoopie Pie Filling that I have posted with my cupcakes--Mimi's Whoopie Pie Filled Chocolate Cupcakes. It is also good with a Butter Frosting. This cake is so moist and dark because of the coffee. It is so easy because you dump everything in a bowl and lastly put in the coffee and it is ready to bake.

This is also known as Black Magic Cake. It has been my favorite chocolate cake for decades, and the only one that I make.
