CHOCOLATE BUTTERMILK SQUARES
A very simple recipe for a simple chocolate snack cake. My kids (and I!) love these straight out of the fridge with a cold glass of milk! Edited to add-some reviewers have found these dry--I'm not sure if keeping them in the fridge keeps them moist, but that may be the trick as I've never had that problem (mine always stay in the fridge).

Tips:
- Use buttermilk at room temperature: This will ensure that the batter mixes evenly and does not curdle.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the squares until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will dry out the squares.
- Let the squares cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
