1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour two 8 inch round cake pans or a 9 x 13 inch pan. Sift dry ingredients together. In another bowl, combine wet ingredients.

Pour into prepared pan and bake about 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
