Martha Washington Devil's Food Cake (from Baker's Book of Chocolate Riches)

Melt chocolate in a saucepan over a very low heat, stirring constantly
until smooth. Add One half cup of the sugar and One half cup of the buttermilk. Stir
until well blended. Cool thoroughly. Mik flour, baking powder, soda and
salt. Cream butter, and gradualy beat in the remaining 1 One half cups sugar.
Continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating
thoroughly after each. Blend in about onefourth 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.
