Recipes- To DIE for Chocolate Cake

2 C. Flour
2 C. Sugar
2 Eggs
3/4 C. Oil
3/4 C. Buttermilk
1 Bar German Chocolate (Or...what I do Is one cup of chocolate chips)
2 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Vanilla
1/2 Tsp. Salt

Add all ingredients together EXCEPT chocolate.  Stir until everything is completely mixed.  Pour 1 cup of hot coffee over chocolate to melt.  Once melted, add to cake mix.

Bake @ 350 degrees for 35 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

This cake is moist and brownie like.  You will need to trim the top to make a strait top for frosting.  Worth it though!!! It is also good plain sprinkled with powdered sugar!  Enjoy!

Please note...this is NOT healthy...:)  But I bake and I don't take short cuts on baking, also I rarely eat the sweets so I figure if I indulge every once in a while...it should be something really good!!:)
