This cake was a complete disaster! It didn't rise at all, and it was so dry and crumbly that it was inedible. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter. But even though it didn't look perfect, it still tasted delicious!

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge coffee fan, but I loved this cake! The coffee flavor was subtle, and it didn't overpower the chocolate. The cake was also very moist and fluffy.

This cake is so easy to make, and it always turns out perfect. I love that I can use instant coffee, so I don't have to brew a whole pot. The cake is always moist and chocolatey, and the coffee flavor is just right.
