DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add chocolate and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour into three greased and floured 9-in. round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

Cake itself is great. But the frosting needs just a little work...I would recommend that you lessen the milk. Mix the sugar and cocoa to the butter, then add the vanilla, then add the milk about 1/4 cup at a time. Mix enough milk to make the thickness you want the frosting. When I added the 1 cup of milk I got a frosting that was a little too thin. and yes I did add the milk alternately with the sugar mixture.

Good, Not Great. Not at all what I was expecting. I think it needs a bit of oil, as it was pretty dry. I didn't use the the frosting - instead I made "Satiny Chocolate Glaze" which was great.

Has a good taste, but came out a liitle dry. Maybe I was off on a measurement. It is worth trying again, though!

I cannot give this more than three stars. I made it for my mother-in-law's birthday and even though it tasted pretty good and the guests liked it, it was WAYYYYY too dry. I'm not sure what to add to make it moist and less dense - it was like eating chocolate cornbread. I did not use the frosting recipe on this recipe but instead used the Vanilla-chocolate powdered sugar frosting on this website (which is delicious).
