Preparations: Divide sugar and buttermilk as below.
Beat egg. Soften butter. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Butter and flour and 2-inch deep, 8-inch round cake
pan and set aside. Beat 1/2 cup sugar, cocoa, 1/4 cup

In another bowl, combine butter and 1/2 cup sugar;
beat until light and creamy. Add beaten egg a little
at a time, beating until smooth between each addition.
Beat in the cocoa mixture.

For a glaze: In a double boiler, melt chocolate,
cream, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and let cool to

If desire, before glazing, split cake in half and
spread your choice of filling between the layers.
