2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 cups cake flour

Melt the chocolate bar in the top of a double boiler over hot water.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.

Stir the baking soda into the buttermilk.

Alternately add the buttermilk and the flour into the creamed mixture. Add the melted chocolate, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract.

Cool cake and remove from pan. Dust with powdered sugar.
