Super Moist and Rich Chocolate Cake
I came up with this recipe as a result of a chocolate craving and not having cooking chocolate in hand, I used only cocoa. If you don't have buttermilk handy, just mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and let it set for 15 minutes. This is sooo yummy I hope you like it!
