Black Magic Cake (Best Chocolate Cake Ever!) image

This is one of the best chocolate cakes we have ever made! It's a chocolate lovers dream. Simple and straightforward, this is one of those recipes that everyone will love. Coffee enhances the chocolate flavor and buttermilk helps make the cake moist. We don't use margarine often for frosting, but this chocolate one is so good it...
