What makes this chocolate cake stand out from the rest? The key to its super moist texture lies in a few special ingredients and techniques that lock in moisture, ensuring the cake stays soft, tender, and incredibly flavorful.
– **Buttermilk:** The acidity in buttermilk helps tenderize the cake and creates a smoother, more delicate crumb.
– **Oil:** Unlike butter, oil retains moisture and gives the cake its rich, moist texture.
– **Boiling Water:** The addition of boiling water intensifies the flavor of the cocoa, making the cake incredibly rich and moist without being too dense.
