I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this one is really good. The buttermilk makes it really moist and the cocoa flavor is just right.

This cake is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before a party and it was still moist and delicious the next day.

The cake was delicious, but the frosting was a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll try a different frosting next time.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I think I might try adding some extra buttermilk next time.

This buttermilk cocoa cake was a delight! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the cocoa flavor was rich and chocolatey. I frosted it with a simple chocolate ganache, and it was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this cake again!
