Adapted from: Barefoot Contessa at Home This chocolate cake, made with buttermilk and oil — no butter — and exclusively cocoa — no melted chocolate — is incredibly light and moist and stays this way for days. It's an Ina Garten recipe, one she begged for from a friend, the grandson of Beatty, after taking one bite. It has become a family favorite — a real crowd pleaser with adults and children alike. A few notes: Ina uses the stand mixer, but I find it works great just by mixing with a whisk and spatula. I now make this in one bowl: whisk together the dry ingredients; then add the wet one by one, being sure I beat the eggs prior to adding them to the bowl. I've added weight measurements, because that's how I prefer to bake. The original frosting recipe calls for a raw egg yolk, but I omit it and don't notice a difference.
