    I can't seem to get a 5 star review to work on this site right now......but that is what it is. For the life of me I can't understand how this cake could possibly turn out dry. I would suggest that you definitely use buttermilk (not regular full fat milk soured). I rarely give a 5 star review, especially for a chocolate cake and I think this is the first time. Good luck everyone that tries it........

    Kittencal’s Best Deep Dark Chocolate Layer Cake,This will probably be the only layer cake you will ever use, it’s a rich, moist chocolate cake that tastes more like chocolate fudge than a cake, you will be making again and again! — I have also made this using room temperature Crisco butter-flavor shortening in place of butter — to take this to yet another level add in 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite liqueur in place of the vanilla, I like Kahlua! — also see my recipe#89207,I can’t seem to get a 5 star review to work on this site right now……but that is what it is. For the life of me I can’t understand how this cake could possibly turn out dry. I would suggest that you definitely use buttermilk (not regular full fat milk soured). I rarely give a 5 star review, especially for a chocolate cake and I think this is the first time. Good luck everyone that tries it……..,:( I was so excited to make this cake…Kittencal has some fantastic recipes…but this cake came out dry, dry, dry. It’s very lightweight, dense, very firm and very crumbly. Something akin to an angel food cake. The batter LOOKED fantastic so I was really optimistic. I only cooked until a toothpick came out clean. I made the recipe as directed except for making homemade buttermilk and making two round 9″ cakes instead of layering them. The icing is this cake’s saving grace. It’s a lot of cocoa powder and I had to add more cream to make it spreadable. I also only used 2 cups powdered sugar instead of 4 and it was plenty sweet (and stiff).My children, on the other hand, loved it and wanted more. For this reason I’m giving it 3 stars…though I don’t think I’ll be making it again. Flavor-wise, it was good, but I just couldn’t get past the dry aftertaste.
