Reviews
The cake was moist but had zero flavor. The frosting had barely a hint of coffee flavor. Won't bother making again, waste of ingredients and time.
This chocolate oatmeal cake was moist, dense and delicious. My son said it tasted like brownie. The whole family enjoyed it very much. Definitely I will make this again.
I have made this recipe many times. I never gave the page a second glance, but my Mom made the cake and shared it w/me. Coffee frosting a a nice change. My teenager even likes it. Very moist and yummy!
I've made this cake many times---very easy preparation, very moist. Love the coffee frosting! Great for potlucks or family gatherings. I'll make it for company dinner tonight, and I'm going to try those extra-dark s.s. choc. chips in the ingredients. A definite recommend!
