This Old-Fashioned Swiss Chocolate Cake is the kind of dessert that brings everyone back for seconds! Made with rich cocoa, real butter, and a touch of buttermilk, this cake is soft, tender, and packed with deep chocolate flavor. It’s finished with a creamy homemade chocolate frosting that melts beautifully over the warm cake — just like Grandma used to make!
