Best Ever Double Chocolate Buttermilk Cake Recipe – Light and airy, with a decadent crumb, this double chocolate buttermilk cake makes a great accompaniment to a cup of coffee in the afternoon or after dinner.


I love all kinds of cakes, especially chocolate, but this cake has been my go-to recipe when I need to whip something up in a jiffy.

The cake itself comes together in 10 minutes and it needs about 35 minutes to bake.

Just like other cakes, you start by creaming the butter with the sugar, until light and fluffy. For best results, make sure the butter is at room temperature. Soft enough for your finger to leave an imprint when pressed, but not so soft that your finger easily presses through it.

The eggs are then added, one by one followed by the buttermilk and International Delight coffee creamer alternately with the dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt.
