   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.
