Covered in a luscious chocolate buttercream frosting, this chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting is everything you want in a chocolate cake – sweet, moist, tenter and irresistible delicious!
We’ve been planning my trip for a couple of months now and few weeks before our departure day i had the crazy idea of throwing a little birthday party for me. A small one, nothing fancy since my actual birthday is next week. All set and done, all I had left is to get the cake.
I was on the fence if I should buy or make my own birthday cake but in the end decided to make myself a chocolate cake with dreamy chocolate buttercream frosting. And not just any chocolate cake recipe, but the one I received from my friend Liz.
When I asked my friends to share with me their favorite chocolate desserts I received all kinds of recipes. I would have such a hard time to pick one. I can’t even pick two and name them as favorite, but if you’re looking for a layer chocolate cake to make for an upcoming birthday or a special celebration look no further, this chocolate cake recipe is all you need!
The cake is moist and tender, sweet and chocolate-y, and the chocolate buttercream frosting is so creamy I wanted to eat it with a spoon straight from the mixing bowl.
I must admit I was a little worried since it was the first time I made a cake with such a runny batter and my first thought was to discard the batter and start from the beginning since I couldn’t figure out what I forgot to add but nothing to worry. Actually, the batter looked just right.
The hot coffee (you can also use hot water if you prefer) and the buttermilk added to the cake batter help keep the cake so moist even days after it’s baked.
To get the recipe please visit my friend Liz’s blog
