How to Make Chocolate Buttermilk Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. 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.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once completely cool, cut into large squares, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for optimal moistness and flavor.
