Buttermilk Chocolate Cake with Fudge Icing

Buttermilk Chocolate Cake with Fudge Icing

This is the simplest and moistest chocolate cake I have ever found and was a favorite when I grew up. I could even whip it up as a child. This cake is also great with the boxed fluffy icing so the great chocolate flavor of the cake is not hidden.
