   Pre-heat the oven to 350 Degrees F.  In a small
   microwave safe bowl, place the chocolate and microwave
   on HIGH (100 %) power for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until
   smooth when stirred; set aside to cool slightly.
   Grease and flour two 9 inch round baking pans.  In a
   large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla
   until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and cooled
   chocolate blending well.  In a separate bowl, stir
   together the flour, baking soda and salt; add
   alternately with the water to the chocolate mixture
   beating well after each addition. Pour the batter
   evenly into the 2 prepared pans.
   
   Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a wooden pick
   inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Cool 10
   minutes in the pans and remove from the pans and place
   on a rack to finish cooling.  When the layers are
   completely cool, frost with any desired frosting.
