This cake is a disaster! I followed the recipe exactly, but it turned out terrible. I'm never making this again.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The cake was dry and the mousse was grainy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as good as the pictures. It was still edible, but it wasn't as impressive as I hoped.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I still enjoyed this cake. The chocolate flavor is strong enough to balance out the coffee.
