Rated 4 out of 5 by from I tried to make this cake last night. I tried to make this cake last night. I thought I had all the right ingrediants already at home. It smelled sooooo good while it was baking. I dont really know too much about coffee, so I didnt know there was a difference between the regular coffee grounds I used and the instant coffee I was suposed to use... If you dont know, there is a BIG difference. Anyway, I have to remake this cake this weekend because my boyfriend and I really want to try it... made the right way!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I made this for my husband (for Valentine's Day) using two heart shaped pans. I made this for my husband (for Valentine's Day) using two heart shaped pans. The center cream was amazing, as well as the glaze on the top!! I only cooked for 40 minutes and it seemed a "tad" dry. I bought a "1 cup of pudding in the mix" kind of cake mix - so it should have been really moist but nevertheless it was the best cake I've ever made and my husband agreed! And for the first time (in a long time) my cake actually looked like the one in the photo!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I made this cake for Fathers day. I made this cake for Fathers day. It said to put 1/4 cup of instant coffee in with the cool whip. I did that and it didn't turn out the way I expected it to. The grounds did not disolve, it tasted too strong, and it turned brown. Luckily I had extra cool whip, so I just put plain cool whip for the center. It turned out really nice. It was a little tough to cut though. The top layer kept sliding. I give it an A+ for taste.

I've made this a few times and though it tastes great it never looks very pretty...my cool whip always melts and runs down the sides, even when I keep it in the freezer...not sure how to fix this problem. <<< From Mary, Kraft Kitchens Expert ~ Make sure cake layers are completely cooled before filling with whipped topping mixture. A warm cake can cause the filling to soften or melt. >>>

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This is a very moist cake, delicious. This is a very moist cake, delicious. My hushand doesn't like chocolate cake very well but said this was the best chocolate cake I've ever made. I didn't make the filling for center, because people said it slide and didn't stay together. So I doubled the topping and put it on each layer and then stacked it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This cake was delicious! This cake was delicious! However, the Cool Whip in the center squished out because of the weight of the top layer. Next time I will keep the layers separate and put a little of the chocolate and Cool Whip on top of each(this will make the slices more reasonable serving sizes too).

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I made this cake for a family gathering and everyone enjoyed the cake. I made this cake for a family gathering and everyone enjoyed the cake. They even suggested doing it with a yellow cake mix as well. The only item I woulkd change would be more chocolate to be added to the top to have more drizzle and sauce on top.
