Super Moist Mocha Cream Cake -- 13 X 9 Pan or Two 9-Inch Layers image

My MIL's recipe -- Another cake from the great state of Texas that my family has enjoyed for about 40 years -- This cake is made with more butter, and 1 cup of sour cream, instead of the 1/2 cup called for in most recipes here on Zaar. ******NOTE: Feel free to make this cake the day before you plan to serve -- as some of the reviewers have mentioned, it is even better the day after baking! ****** Can also be baked in two 9-inch layers (metal pans) at 350F for 25-30 minutes!

This cake was delicious! The cake was moist and fluffy, and the frosting was light and airy. It was perfect for a special occasion. I will definitely be making it again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out at all. It was dense and gummy, and the frosting was too thin and runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The cake was a bit dry and the frosting was too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm sorry, but this cake was a complete disaster. It was so dry and crumbly, it was almost inedible. The frosting was also too sweet and overpowering. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and flavorless. The frosting was too thick and cloying. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a bit dense and the frosting was too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This cake was good, but not as moist as I expected it to be. The flavor was great, but the texture was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
