Directions:
- Adjust the rack to the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees
- Butter three 8-inch round layer pans and dust the bottoms with dry bread crumbs.
- Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot water on a moderate heat. Set aside once melted.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream the butter.
- Add the vanilla and sugar and beat another minute or two.
- Beat the eggs in, one at a time, and scrape the mixing bowl with a spatula between additions. Continue to beat for a minute or two after the last egg is added.
- Beat in the melted chocolate.
- On the mixer's lowest speed add half of the flour mixture. Then add the buttermilk and then the rest of the flour. Scrape down as needed.
- Gradually beat in the boiling water.
- This is a thin batter - don't worry.
- Divide it between the three prepared pans.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched and the cake starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Cool the layers on racks for five minutes. Then invert the pans on the racks to remove the cakes and then invert again so they are right-side up.
- When the layers are completely cool ice with 7-Minute Icing
