This is a great double layer cake and the best part about it is that it’s EGG FREE!  This EGG FREE chocolate buttermilk cake is so delicious and perfect for everyone, even if they aren’t allergic to eggs.   Many cakes crumble without eggs but this one is so moist and comes out of the pans perfectly.
