1 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Set oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.

In the bowl of a mixer, cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Stir in melted chocolate. Add the buttermilk in two additions, alternating with flour mixture in three parts (begin and end with flour mixture). Pour batter into prepared 9x13 inch pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before serving.

Yields 1 9x13 inch cake, about 12 servings.
