  I don't see the details for the FIRST recipe as described in step one? Have I missed something?

  Made this cake for work and had to convince everyone it had not been bought. One minor point is that I used fairtrade coffee which is very strong and will use less than it says next time. A real rich winner! Perfect for the coffee/chocolate fan!

  I too made this cake for work, it was very popular. I used Lavazza coffee made in an italian coffee machine, and green & black dark chocolate on top - delicious!

  I only put the mascarpone mix in the middle which was enough for me, but this is extremely good cake, the sponge mix is very light and very chocolaty. The lack of the first recipe on the page is very annoying so thankyou to splosh82 for finding it.

  Made this for a family party, it went down very well and looked like a shop bought cake. I felt the coffee was slightly bitter but no one else complained. Will make this again.

  So easy to make with great results! However I did change the quantity of coffee as 4 tablespoons inc. water was far too much! Made the marscapone far too runny and it was way too strong. I just used one tbsp and added it gradually until I got it just how I like it.

  This is the best and easiest chocolate cake I have ever made. I have made it 3 times now, once because it looked nice, second because it was so yummy the first time and recently, as a birthday cake. If you're not a great coffee lover, do not let that put you off. The coffee icing is a great subtle pairing. I used Boaters French Vanilla ground.

  The baking time is too short by five minutes. The tip for the strong coffee should be teaspoons NOT tablespoons. These errors ruined my first attempt at this cake, which is not especially cheap. The coffee recipe makes the cream far too strong and runny. I am in a really bad mood now. Sponge is good though.

  great rich cake! I was afraid that it would remind a sponge cake a lot - but there were no such associations at all. And I also reduced coffee to 2 spoons. All my friends really enjoyed it :))))

  I made this for Mother's Day and it was loved by everyone! It was so easy to make by chucking everything into the food processor! I only made half the amount of filling/icing (1 tub mascarpone, 40g caster sugar, 2 tbsp coffee in 2 tbsp water) and it was plenty. Will definitely be making this again!
