Chocolate Buttermilk Cake
By SANDY LONG
This classic pot-luck pleaser is a winner every time. Buttermilk makes the rich chocolate cake extra moist, while the timeless buttercream icing seals the deal. Decorate with seasonal toppers for a festive presentation. Speaking of classics, these recipes can be found in the cookbook no kitchen should be without—the Fannie Farmer Cookbook. Its tried and true recipes make it one of my all-time favorites.
1-2/3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
˝ cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
˝ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
˝ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
