Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Combine soda, butter and cocoa in a small saucepan, bringing to a boil while stirring. As soon as mixture comes to a boil, remove from heat, and add to flour mixture, stirring to combine. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until blended. Add to flour mixture, whisking constantly. Pour mixture into pan, baking 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. About 15 minutes before cake is done, prepare glaze.

To make glaze, bring soda to a boil in a small saucepan, then simmer 10-15 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup. Add butter and cocoa, stir until butter is melted, then remove from heat. Add confectioners’ sugar; whisk until smooth. Pour immediately over hot cake.
