Chocolate Lover’s Delight Cake
For years my husband and I belonged to a supper club and I always made the desserts. This light, flavorful cake recipe was given to me at our first club and it's a hit every time. —Sandra Hackney, Tuscaloosa, Alabama

This was the best cake I have ever made, it was gone in lest then 30 min.
This cake looked so perfect for a brithday party I was planning but mine came out flat. Was a big disappointment. Did I overmix or undermix? My family is a fan of reducing sugar, so I cut the sugar in the frosting to 4 tbsp. Cocoa at its best...with a hint of sweetness. Will probably not make this cake again :(
I made this cake for a coworker/friend's birthday. It was wonderful. Cake turned out nice and soft with a mild flavor. I didn't have creme de cocao so I used a mixture of Godiva Chocolate Liqueur and Chocolate Vodka. The birthday girl asked for the recipe so she can make the cake for her brother's birthday. Word of caution if your buttermilk is cold... mix the oil with the melted chocolate... then add that mixture to the sugar, eggs, and buttermilk.
I made this cake for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. I omitted the almond extract and added vanilla as I'm not a fan of almond flavoring. I'm known as the "Dessert Queen" in the family so there are always high expectations and this cake did not dissapoint.
I was anxious to make this cake. I thought it sounded good and looked better. There was a little too much almond flavoring in it for my taste. I thought the batter tasted good before I cooked it, but once the frosting was on you couldn't even taste the cake. Overall, I would not make again. If you love almond flavoring, I'm sure you will love this cake.
Is this recipe correct? It came out flat as a pancake when I tried to make it.
I have made this several times now and everyone loves it. So worth every minute!!!
