• 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
  
• 8 oz unsalted butter, softened
  
• 1-3/4 c packed dark brown sugar
  
• 3 eggs
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1-1/2 c all purpose flour
  
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/8 tsp salt
  
• 1 c buttermilk, at room temperature
  

Beat butter till light and fluffy. Beat in brown sugar at high speed, till well blended and light, about 8 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time and then the chocolate and vanilla.

Sift together the dry ingredients and then beat 1/3 of them into the chocolate mixture. Add 1/3 of the buttermilk. Repeat 2 more times. Scrape batter into buttered and floured 10" springform pan.

Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 1 hr. and 10 minutes.

Really good with ganache and whipped cream.
