Super Moist Mocha Cream Cake -- 13 X 9 Pan or Two 9-Inch Layers

OMG this is one amazing cake!!! Every time I think I've found the ultimate chocolate cake recipe here, I find another one even better! I loved this for it's ease of preparation (especially since you can mix it with a wooden spoon-no need to pull out the electric mixer for this!) The taste is extraordinary...so moist and so tender! The frosting was out of this world, but I did change a couple of things...for one I cut the powdered sugar back to about 3 cups because I hate cloyingly sweet frosting and I also toasted the pecans which really added a depth of flavor and texture to the frosting. My friends all said it was the best cake they have ever tasted! Thank you for sharing this...and thank your MIL as well!

This cake is so light and moist. To make it more convenient, I made the recipe into cupcakes. It took about 25mins for the middle to set at 350F. I also concentrated the coffee (double the amt of grind). I don't normally try recipes that aren't highly rated and have scores of reviews, but the recipe looked good. No regrets. Better as a cake than a cupcake, b/c it's so light in texture.

This cake is light, flavorful, and moist....definitely a keeper. I have passed this recipe along to many friends and they have come back to me with rave reviews. I have not tried the frosting, I prefer to simply decorate the cake with icing sugar.

This is at least the 12th recipe I've used from RecipeZaar but only my first review. Had to say that I made this recipe for a family party and everyone raved about it. Made it the day before as was suggested and it was delicious. I used about 3 and a third cups of sugar for the icing with a little less milk and cocoa and that was sweet enough for us. Best chocolate cake ever!

Delcious! Made this the night before for a potluck at husbands work last week and cut into squares so people could grab and go and everyone loved it! I kept a couple pieces back for us so I could try and thought it was really good too and very moist! It reminds me a lot of the Texas sheet cakes, only thicker! Thanks for sharing your recipe! :)

My 15 y/o daughter made this for a cake auction at school. It was a hit and made a nice little contribution to her choir fund raiser. We made it as a layer cake and used a homemade fudge frosting. Wow, what a moist and delicious cake! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is the moistest cake I have ever made. I didn't make the frosting, the cake is delicious without it. Thanks so much for sharing!

This recipe takes double the time to bake than stated in recipe for pyrex pan at 325. at 35 minutes the center was still very loose. Took 1 hour to fully bake through. I added 1/4 cup prepared cooled coffee to make frosting also "mocha."

Thanks for the recomendation -this was a very tasty chocolate cake with yummy frosting. I found that the flavor and moistness really shines through on the day after baking. Good the first day - even better on the 2nd.

oh, my! We were so impressed with the incredible taste of this cake. It is so moist and the icing is not overly sweet (that was a surprise since it is a fudge type icing) It was perfect. I toasted the pecans before stirring into the icing and loved the toasted nut flavor with the icing. Topped the cake with whole strawberries...one on each square of cake. We tried it for Valentine;s day and it was a huge hit...at least with this Texas family. It was even more moist and flavorful the next day. I used Watkin's vanilla nut extract in cake and icing and made a cup of strong coffee with instant granuals. This is an outstanding cake. Thank you for sharing. It reminded me oa a coke cake. Just loved it.

Made this tonight to take to the school board meeting. I cut it before and had me a taste. Yummo!! It is delicious and so very moist. Thanks, I'm sure I will make this one again.
