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 1/2 cup of the
sugar and 1/2 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 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.
