  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.
