This cake came out wonderful. No one in my family could tell it was lactose free. I did have to bake it for 45 minutes at 325 though. The next time I make it I plan on trying the frosting recipe.

This cake came out great,although I did tweek the recipe a bit and substituted the coffee for 2 1/2 cups of soymilk (vanilla and/or chocolate soymilk can also be used). I made it for a family member's birthday and my family honestly loved it.
