For an extra mocha flavor, add 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee to the batter. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results. To prevent the cake from sticking, line the bottom of the cake pans with parchment paper rounds. If you don't have buttermilk, the sour milk substitution works perfectly and tastes just as good. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
