Ingredients

1 cup margarine
1 3/4 cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups buttermilk - no substitute
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° Spray the inside of a 9” x 13” pan with vegetable release. For easy removal, dust the pan with cocoa, so that it sticks to the veggie spray. Shake out the excess.

We use an electric mixer. Beat the sugar and margarine until very smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla, continue beating. Now add all the solids - get everything smooth and well blended on medium speed - around 2 minutes, with a good bowl scrape in-between.

Bake for 45 minutes, looking for a nice crown in the middle which feels firm to your touch.
