Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup less 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • Frosting and Garnish:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
  • 3 oz ( 3 squares) unsweetened chocolate, melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
