For an even richer flavor, try using dark cocoa powder. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Be sure to spread the frosting while the cake is still warm for the best results. This cake is delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
