Chocolate Cake with Italian Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. The easiest & best chocolate scratch cake covered in melt-in-your-mouth, luscious Italian chocolate buttercream frosting. Just outstanding!
Good chocolate cake may be the perfect dessert and this one does not disappoint. It deserves to be a standard in every family recipe collection.
It is the best plain chocolate frosted cake that I have ever eaten. The chocolate Italian buttercream frosting can be a bit of a challenge, especially in a hot kitchen.
