Cake

1 cup butter
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk

1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

directions

Butter 3 round 9-inch cake pans, line bottoms with waxed paper, and butter again.

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Sift together cocoa, flour, baking soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.

Pour into cake pans. Bake 25 to 30 minutes in preheated 350 degrees F oven. Let stand in pans 5 minutes. Remove from pans onto wire rack. Cool completely before frosting with browned butter icing.

For Icing: In saucepan, brown butter lightly over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; pour into mixing bowl. Add vanilla, salt, and half of confectioners' sugar; beat well.
