This is no ordinary chocolate cake. Even though it is full of rich chocolate flavor, buttermilk and cake flour make the crumb as tender and light as can be. The velvety smooth Swiss Meringue Buttercream, which has notes of almond and vanilla, is the perfect finishing touch. We've finished off our cake with Magnolia Flower Cake Toppers, but you can also create Camellia Flower Toppers or any design you like.
I think the recipe is great! I have made alot of cakes and this is the best chocolate cake recipe I have tried. It is a light and moist. The cooking time was correct for me.

The cake itself tastes good. The instructions are great. But the first time, I baked it 15mins over the recommended cooking time and after the toothpick coming out clean, the cake was complete batter in the middle. I couldn’t salvage it so it went in the trash.
Tried again. Changed my oven from bake to convection bake thinking maybe that would help, and they look better — but again after baking 10mins over the recommended time, the bottoms of the cakes weren’t done. They fell apart coming out of the pans.
The batter is very thin after adding the 1 cup of hot water, and I can’t help but wonder if that’s it. I wanted to make this cake so badly but after two flops, it’s not me. And I know it’s not my oven — I baked a cake just three days ago with perfect results.
I love your recipes but this one needs some tweaking. Thanks!
