Recipe View Step 10: Optional Decoration (5 minutes). For an extra touch of elegance, sprinkle the frosted cake with chocolate shavings or dust with cocoa powder.

For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for both the cake and frosting.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
Cool the melted chocolate slightly before adding it to the frosting to prevent it from melting the butter.
For a more intense chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients.

    The best chocolate cake I've ever made! The buttermilk keeps it so moist.

    The frosting was a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the confectioners' sugar slightly and it was perfect.
