      I'm from New Zealand & I don't have buttermilk at home so used milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice in it. My 9 year old daughter helped also. Easy to make. It has to be one of the niciest Fudge Cakes I've made. It's now a firm favourite in our house & at work. One problem - it never lasts long enough with 3 kids in my house.

      Loved this cake! I made it this morning for a friend, and although I didn't have time for the icing, it tasted great even without it. I melted the butter-cocoa mixture in the microwave, and it made my job a whole lot easier. Baking soda causes the cake to rise really well, so for a richer cake, slice it in half horizontally, make double the amount of icing, ice the top of the bottom layer as well, and press the two layers together for a decadent chocolate treat! This cake took an hour of baking in my oven.
