ULTIMATE DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE
Every baker should have a go-to chocolate cake in their recipe repertoire for those special occasions. This rich and indulgent cake is magnificently moist thanks to the addition of the buttermilk and smooth, melted dark chocolate. Dare we say this is the ultimate chocolate cake? Chocolatier's Tip Get creative with the decorations for this cake; try using our subtly sweet EXCELLENCE White Chocolate with a Touch of Vanilla to make contrasting curls or arrange pieces of fresh fruit on top - raspberries and sliced strawberries work well and cut through the richness of the cake.

KITTENCAL'S BEST DEEP DARK CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE
This will probably be the only layer cake you will ever use, it's a rich, moist chocolate cake that tastes more like chocolate fudge than a cake, you will be making again and again! --- I have also made this using room temperature Crisco butter-flavor shortening in place of butter --- to take this to yet another level add in 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur in place of the vanilla, I like Kahlua! --- also see my recipe#89207
