This coffee cake was very good. It has great chocolate flavor and its not to sweet. It was pretty easy to make. The cake is moist and I cooked it for the 1 hour the chef called for. I did found the coffee flavor was almost nonexistence . My overall feeling is that its well worth making. Thanks kiwilover for posting this recipe.

I'm an American, living between London and New Zealand. I love to cook and try new recipes and have tried many new things since living in the UK and New Zealand.
When I bake, I like to start from scratch and don't use cake mixes, fake foods like Cool Whip or premade frostings.
I am really happy cooking and get a huge sense of satisfaction when people enjoy dishes and treats that I make. I would love to open my own business in the food industry some day, but still working on that idea!
