Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the cakes tough.
  • For a taller cake, bake the batter in a 9x13 inch pan instead of a 9x9 inch pan.
  • To make sure the cakes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them.
  • For a smooth frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
  • If you want to add a chocolate ganache to the cakes, simply melt 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Store the cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
