I followed the directions for the cake exactly. The finished cake rose nicely, and was an even height all the way across. It has a spongy texture, but we were overwhelmed by the lemon flavor. I wouldn’t even call it “chocolate,” anymore. All we could taste was lemons. Not what we were hoping for.

We did not do the coffee icing since it was for my two-year-old son’s birthday. We made a chocolate buttercream icing instead, but even the extra dose of chocolate couldn’t save this cake.

I made according to directions & this was DELICIOUS!! I was a little leery about the lemon extract but learned it is necessary. It gave the cake a wonderful flavor.

Interesting with the lemon extract. My curiousity is piqued and I’m going to make this next week when family is in town visiting.
