mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 mins. Beat in
eggs just until combined.

3. Sift together cake flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and
salt. Add buttermilk and flour mixture alternately to butter mixture,
beating just until blended. Divide batter between prepared pans.

4. Bake 35 to 40 mins, or until a cake tester inserted in center

racks and let cool completely. Fill and frost cake with Buttermilk
Chocolate Frosting. Refrigerate until serving time.
