This was a hit at our faculty meeting today. I used half butter and half Smart Balance, and all I had was whipped cream cheese. I added 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to batter and almond extract; I added a filling over half the batter of chopped toasted almonds and dark chocolate pieces, then added the rest of the batter. I glazed it with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 2 T strong coffee, garnishing with shaved dark chocolate and chopped almonds. It was a big hit. 10 seconds in the microwave and it's awesome. Thanks for the recipe. I baked at 325 for 75 minutes. Perfecto!!

This is a real good heavy dense cake. I swirled a mixture of 2 tblsp. cocoa, 2 tblsp instant expresso powder with 4 tblsp of sugar with 1 cup of mini chocolate chips through the cake batter, added a crumb topping and used an angel food cake pan with a removable bottom. Bake an extra 15 minutes. Excellent! Thanks for a great recipe!

Wonderful, wonderful cake!! I followed this recipe to the letter except for the baking time. I baked the cake in a 325 degree oven for 78 minutes and it was perfect. I just had the last piece of cake today (I made the cake 5 days ago) and it was just as good today as when I first baked it. Thanks for an amazing recipe that I will be making again and again.
