Black magic cake

Just the name of this cakes automatically makes me want a slice! Black magic cake is a super chocolatey, dense and moist cake that is every chocolate lovers dream. The cake batter is made with buttermilk which gives the cake a subtle tang. Coffee is also added to the batter which really brings out the chocolate flavor while also adding moisture to the cake itself. Any type of chocolate frosting will work wonderfully on this cake.

• Great two eight inch cake pans.
• Divide the batter between the pans. The batter should be about 3/4 of the way up the sides of the pan. Don't worry if the batter seems a little runny- it should be!!
• Bake for 45-55 minutes in a 350 ̊F oven or until the center of the cake springs back to the touch. Cool the cakes then ice with your favorite dark chocolate frosting.
