Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
- Do not overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cake dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will prevent the frosting from melting.
- 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. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a richer flavor, you can use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use two 8-inch round pans. Just bake them for a few minutes less.
- You can also make this cake in a bundt pan. Just grease and flour the pan well before baking.
