Double Chocolate Cake

Was this Gourmet classic dubbed “Double Chocolate” because of the combo of moist chocolate cake and silky chocolate ganache frosting? Or was it because of the powerhouse duo of natural cocoa and melted semisweet chocolate that get mixed into the cake batter? Maybe it was the tenderizing buttermilk or the generous pour of hot coffee that make this cake taste like it has two times the chocolate power.
