Chocolate Cake with Coffee Frosting image

I work evenings in the operating room at our local hospital. Since getting away for meals can be difficult, we occasionally plan potlucks. I'm frequently asked to bring my "chocolate cake with the special icing". -Irene Peery Charlottesville, Virginia

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet.

Followed the recipe to a T, but the cake came out a little too dense for my liking. Still, the flavor was great!

This cake is dense and chocolatey, just the way I like it! The coffee frosting is a nice touch, but I think it would be even better with a chocolate ganache.
