Am I reading this correctly? You use 1 cup of instant coffe crystals in the cake batter? Interesting.

Can you clarify how much coffee crystals you actually use???

I'm going to assume she transposed the ingredient. 1 cup hot water to 2 T coffee crystals...

Wildflower_girl - I agree with you. I think I will try to pm her.

I think if you assume that she transpose the water and coffee crystals then there would be too much liquid in the cake. If you get an answer from pm'ing her let us know please. Thanks, evelyn

I am very sorry I made a typing mistake when posting this recipe. The correct amount of coffee crystals is 1/3 cup. The coffee liquid is quite thick when the 2 tablespoons of water are added.

It sounds like it would be very tasty! Thanks for the recipes.

Would you recommend this recipe for cupcakes?

Has anyone tried it yet? Sounds good - can it be doubled?

I expect cupcakes would work fine. I have not doubled the recipe, it turns out great as a two layer 8" cake, and worked well as a 9" x 13" split and stacked into two 4.5" x 6.5" layers. The only time I've had a questionable result was baking in a bundt pan, it was too dense and for my taste, it baked forever but still seemed under cooked.

phew i wish i had read the comments before making this lol wowsa.. well it turned out interestingly anyways. will try it again later.

Do you think this would taste good with a chocolate cake mix? My husband loves mocha coffee and I think he might like that in a cake.

I have used this recipe twice now and it works INCREDIBLE for stacking and carving. The flavor is amazing as well!! Thanks so much!

GenGen - I'm sorry you had trouble. I don't know how to correct the recipe since I didn't catch the mistake right away.

Aligirl - When looking for a recipe for a coffee or cappucino cake I was looking for something that was not chocolate. I found tons of similar recipes for chocolate cappucino or coffe flavored cakes.

I'm glad I read the comments before making this. It is DELICIOUS! It's my new favorite recipe. Thanks!

I wonder if you could use a chocolate cake mix instead to make a Chocolate Cappuccino cake...Mmmm

hi there!! i'm a little confused about the frosting ingredients: 2 – 3 C Butter Cream Frosting 1 – 2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder 1 – 2 Tbsp Instant Coffee Crystals 1 – 2 tsp Hot Water what is 2-3C ? is it 2/3 of a cup 1-2C? is it 1/2of a cup... i guess i'm the only one who did not get it! please, help

Tried it today with a Devil's Food cake mix. Worked great! Chocolate makes the coffee a little less strong with the taste, but still tasted great!

I made this without reading the comments first and used 1 cup of instant coffee and 2 tablespoons of hot water. It was a bit runny when I was pouring it into the pans, but baked up beautifully and was super delicious! I brought it to work and everybody loved it!!

This cake is amazing! It is really moist and delicious! The first time I tried it I used all Starbucks instant coffee and it was horrible, but that was my fault. Their coffee is much too strong. The second time I used a small amount of starbucks instant coffee and a store brand and it was great! I can't wait to make it again.

Will this work for a white cake mix? I imagine I would only use egg whites & get rid of the vanilla? 

Thanks in advance!
