How to Make Chocolate Buttermilk Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, cut into large squares, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for optimal moistness and flavor.
