Chocolate Bundt Cake

This year for break-fast on Yom Kippur, I made a chocolate bundt cake. I got this recipe from my mom after I got a bundt pan for my shower and it always turns out great. The buttermilk makes it really moist and it has a rich chocolate flavor without being too sweet. It has very nice plate presentation and can be topped with a glaze of your choice or garnished with powdered sugar and fresh berries.
