It was not hard to make at all! I made a different frosting then this recipe calls but the cake it’s self was not difficult to make and did not take a long to prepare. We made this cake for a party and everyone was so impressed!! I cooked it a little to long and it was still moist.

The cake and frosting recipes were amazing! I made cupcakes and the recipe said it would yield 18-24 cupcakes and I followed it exactly and got 40 cupcakes though (which I’m not complaining). It’s a hit with my husband and his coworkers too!

So delicious!!! I used special dark cocoa because that’s all we had in hand and it was Devine the buttercream frosting is perfect. We have a crazy hot industrial kitchen oven so ours baked 9” pan, 20 mins at 400 and still turned out great

This is a wonderful cake! Everything from cake to frosting is epic. I had a moment of being a professional chef with this one. Served as a birthday cake and was very well received!

I’m guessing it’s good. Yummly won’t let me look at the instructions without rating. So I’ll come back and update after actually making the cake.
