Chocolate buttermilk cake

This cake is simply amazing, I made 2 cakes and was planning on getting fancy with it but decided to just leave it as is. It is moist, light, and oh so chocolaty (if that's even a word lol) you can serve it plain, with icecream or topped with frosting. My son and I had some first thing this morning with a large cup of milk. I used 1/2 cup of 1848 french cocoa mix but if you don't have that available you can use anywhere from 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup cocoa powder. I almost always add a bit of coffee to my chocolate desserts,it really brings out the chocolate flavor. The buttermilk really makes this cake moist.
