My mom has been making this cake for us since we were little, so it's pretty much a birthday staple in our family. This cake is moist, chocolaty, and delicious.
J'adore: Mom's Buttermilk Chocolate Cake

1. Blend sugar, margarine, vanilla, and eggs in a food processor or mixer. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
2. Butter and flour a bundt pan. Tap out excess flour before pouring in batter.
3. Pour batter into floured bundt pan and bake at 350°F for 35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
4. Allow cake to cool completely before overturning bundt pan onto a cake plate. Ice and decorate as desired.
J'adore: Chocolate Icing
