There are times when nothing but a tall, golden cake swooped with luscious chocolate frosting will do.  Our yellow cake is rich, buttery, and moist thanks to the use of butter and oil, and tender and light due to cake flour.It’s sturdy enough to layer confidently but maintains its fluffy, airy crumb.The only thing that makes this cake better is a generous layer of indulgently decadent chocolate buttercream frosting.
