Really tasty, moist, dense cake. Exactly what I wanted. Took advice of other reviewers and doubled the cocoa in the cake batter. Also I basically just made a cream cheese icing, just 'cause it suits my family's taste. Didn't use nuts and coconut due to allergies.

It was really good. I omitted the coconut and added more chocolate. Yummy!

I made this for my family for Christmas Eve. On accident I used whipping cream instead of buttermilk and the cake still turned out wonderfully. I also used the recommendations of other users and doubled the chocolate in the cake. I added the melted chocolate to the frosting and instead of adding the pecans to the frosting I put one cup of pecans and one cup of coconut in the food processor and used the mixture to decorate the sides of the cake. The cake was a hit at my family's dinner.

Great recipe, and easy to follow. The only change I made was to add a splash of coffee to the icing, since I thought it was a bit stiff and was worried about the cake tearing as I spread the icing. The mocha flavor was a hit.

Excellent! I'm so happy I found this recipe! I was looking for a German Chocolate cake recipe that called for cocoa powder instead of chocolate squares (which I never have!). This was perfect for German Chocolate Cake. I just didn't add the coconut and pecans to the cake... Thanks!!!

I made this cake today. It is good but not as good as the original Italian Cream Cake. I agree with the gal that said she likes chocolate cake and she likes Italian Cream cake but not the two mixed together. It is very good - just not my taste.

I don't usually give bad reviews but I did not care for this cake. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because others thought it was OK. I will NEVER make this cake again. If I want Italian Cream I will make that if I want Chocolate I will make that - they don't mix well together.

this was a pretty good cake. it took a lot longer then 25 minutes though, more like an hour. also, i think the frosting tasted a little to much like cream cheese, so i recomend only about 3/4 cup, instead of a cup. i love pecans, so i also added 1 1/2 cups, instead of just one. except for that, i thought this was a pretty good cake! :)

Absolutely wonderful. I did not use the coconut or pecans due to allergies, but it was still a fabulous chocolate cake! I split each layer in half and frosted with the chocolate cream cheese icing. I then topped it with shaved chocolate. Beautiful and delicious!

Wonderful, not too sweet or chocolatey or anything, everything came out perfectly! Made for my mother's birthday; she and my father are still raving about it days later. I did follow what another user did, and did not mix the pecans in with the frosting, but put them on the top and sides. Looks very pretty when done.

Doubled the cocoa in both the cake and the frosting. Didn't like the coconut in the cake, but the frosting was probably the best I've made and I've made a lot of cakes.

Oh my. . .we all were impressed with this one! The cake is VERY good, and the frosting, although sweeter than what we normally like, complimented the cake perfectly.

Great recipe, first time making an Italian Cream cake very easy. I will be doubling the recipe and making a 11x14 sheet cake for a party this weekend.
