Cake (from Baker's Book of Chocolate Riches) Melt chocolate in a
saucepan over a very low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Add
1/2 cup of the sugar and 1/2 cup of the buttermilk. Stir until well
blended. Cool thoroughly. Mix flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
Cream butter, and gradualy beat in the remaining 1-1/2 cups sugar.
Continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time,
beating thoroughly after each. Blend in about one-fourth of the flour
mixture, then add the chocolate vanilla. Alternately add the
remaining flour and buttermilk, beating after each addition until
smooth.

Pour into two 9 inch greased floured pans, and bake at 350 for
about 40 minutes.

I used a cream cheese frosting on the outside and filled the space
between the layers with the chocolate frosting recipe on the
Hershey's cocoa box.
