As we all know from my previous chocolate cake recipe, lots of protein from the cocoa. And then there arws the eggs and buttermilk~ all sounds nutritious to me!
It took me a couple tries to get this recipe to work for me (turned out to be pan/proportion issues - not taste). I have got rave reviews each time I have made it.
is the buttermilk powder or liquid?
hello, i was wondering if this cake its stable enough to stack and cover with fondant. thanks!
