wow!!! this cake gets 5 stars for taste and presentation I made this as a birthday present for my manager at work and he only took home 1 slice. The color and texture was great, be sure to sift flour, cocoa, baking powder together, and mix food coloring with the buttermilk. This cake is off the chain. WOW!!!!
