Ingredients

• 8-9 Hershey’s chocolate bars
• 1 cup margarine
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a tube pan to prepare it for the cake batter.

2. Melt the Hershey’s chocolate bars using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

3. In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk and set aside.

4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the melted Hershey’s chocolate.

5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

6. Gradually add the sifted flour alternately with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour.

7. Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts, if using.

8. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan, spreading it evenly.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a wire rack. Do not invert the pan.

11. Once cooled, carefully remove the cake from the pan and serve slices as desired.
