When deadlines loom and stress builds up, a slice of rich chocolate cake is my secret weapon. It’s my little indulgence that somehow makes everything feel a bit more manageable. A moment of sweet escape!

- Add buttermilk, oil, and eggs to dry ingredients; beat until just combined. Stir in hot coffee until smooth.
