Tips:

To make the cake moist and fluffy, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the mixture, which will help the cake rise evenly.
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cake from curdling.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help ensure that the cake is light and airy.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Coon hunters cake is a delicious and moist chocolate cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a coon hunter or not, you will love this cake.
