Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup hot water
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff, and set aside. In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugar. Melt the chocolate in the hot water. Beat in the egg yolks, then the melted chocolate, buttermilk, and vanilla.
  • In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat into the chocolate mixture. Stir in about 1/3 of the egg whites to lighten the batter and then fold in the rest gently but thoroughly.
  • Turn the batter into a greased and floured tube pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 1 hour, or until the cake tests done with a toothpick. Let cool on a rack. Makes 16 servings.
