Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.
  2. Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.
  3. Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.
  4. Divide batter among the three pans. I found that it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely.
  7. Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
Recipe Notes

They recommend a chocolate cream cheese buttercream frosting, but I initially used a white cloud frosting, a whipped honey buttercream, and a whipped chocolate buttercream on small, individual cakes.  I really liked the white cloud, which cake I also added a small layer of orange marmalade between layers.  Steve really like the whipped chocolate buttercream, and I also thought it was really amazing.  We both like the whipped honey buttercream as well, but it was sort of beaten out by the other two, but it's still amazing. The link to the original recipe with frosting is here:  https://thestayathomechef.com/the-most-amazing-chocolate-cake/

I like to make these as cupcakes - you should get about 50 cupcakes. 

You can also make this gluten-free!  I substituted the flour for Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Mix, so you have a 1:1 ratio to replace the flour, and substitute plain fat-free Greek yogurt for the buttermilk.  The only way you can tell the difference between the cakes with gluten or without gluten is if you have eaten them both.  it does turn out amazing!

To make it even better, I recommend filling the cupcakes with my Bourbon Salted Caramel Sauce, and frosting with my Whipped Chocolate Buttercream.  Enjoy!

 Easy Homemade Biscuits
These are really god! I need to work on starting off much thinner when it's time to fold the dough so I don't have to squish so much, and I can keep my layers.

Instructions
  1. For best results, chill your butter in the freezer for 10-20 minutes before beginning this recipe. It's ideal that the butter is very cold for light, flaky, buttery biscuits.
  2. Preheat oven to 425F and line a cookie sheet with nonstick parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Set aside.
  4. Remove your butter from the refrigerator and either cut it into your flour mixture using a pastry cutter or (preferred) use a box grater to shred the butter into small pieces and then add to the flour mixture and stir.
  5. Cut the butter or combine the grated butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Add milk, use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until combined (don't over-work the dough).
  7. Transfer your biscuit dough to a well-floured surface and use your hands to gently work the dough together. If the dough is too sticky, add flour until it is manageable.
  8. Once the dough is cohesive, fold in half over itself and use your hands to gently flatten layers together. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and fold in half again, repeating this step 5-6 times but taking care to not overwork the dough.
  9. Use your hands (do not use a rolling pin) to flatten the dough to 1" thick and lightly dust a 2 3/4" round biscuit cutter with flour.
  10. Making close cuts, press the biscuit cutter straight down into the dough and drop the biscuit onto your prepared baking sheet.
  11. Repeat until you have gotten as many biscuits as possible and place less than 1/2" apart on baking sheet.
  12. Once you have gotten as many biscuits as possible out of the dough, gently re-work the dough to get out another biscuit or two until you have at least 6 biscuits.
  13. Bake on 425F for 12 minutes or until tops are beginning to just turn lightly golden brown.
  14. If desired, brush with melted salted butter immediately after removing from oven. Serve warm and enjoy.
Recipe Notes

I would like to try making basil and honey flavored biscuits!  So I found a recipe that's pretty close, I think I need to reduce the milk to 5/8 C, eliminate the sugar, and add 1/4 C honey.  Plus some fresh chopped basil.  Not too much, finely chopped maybe 2 Tbsp?  Will try to remember to add notes after I try it!
