  1. should have said it's a chocolate AND coffee cake. i hate coffee, i dont have any coffee and never will. since its a whole cup, what do you replace it with? just plain water? would lose the point of the recipe..

  2. Cake turned out great. Really lovely.
    The frosting however did not go according to your demonstration. Did you miss or mix-up a step where the egg mixture got cooled as the moment I incorporated it into the sugar cream it all turned runny.

  3. Question: for convenient purpose, can I make the frosting and save it freezer and when needed I take it out and set aside till it is ready to whip and use?
    Like do I need to warm it on boiling water or I just wait to defrost and then whip for use?
    Thank you
