Taken from a box of Trader Joe's Cocoa Powder. Pretty much the best thing ever, especially if you use really dark cocoa. I use a 9 x13 baking dish, which doesn't hold all the batter, so I pour the extra into a bread pan and it turns out great! This cake is particularly good with chocolate cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients:
3 1/3 cups flour
1 1/3 cups cocoa powder
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
12 ounces butter
3 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 eggs
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Grease and flour two 9 round baking pans.
3. Combine all ingredients except flour and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
4. Stir in buttermilk.
5. Add flour and beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes scraping down the sides of the bowl once during mixing.
6. Pour into pans and bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
