1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 squares Hershey's baking chocolate
1/2 c. hot water

1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. buttermilk milk
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

Add chocolate to hot water. Cook until thickened. Stir into creamed mixture alternately with flour mixture. Stir in vanilla.

Pour into a buttered loaf pan and bake at 375°F for about 60 minutes. Test with a toothpick to make sure it is cooked enough. May need to bake longer.

Cool and when completely cool sift powdered sugar on top.
