Personal Notes:
This is the best chocolate cake ever! My Mom used to use her Buttercream Frosting on this cake - it's a family favorite. As a little girl growing up, I got very excited when Mom made this cake. It was a favorite of Dad too! I think the coffee really makes this cake so good and moist.

Enjoy !
