SERVES: 24
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13x4 inch rectangular loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Set aside. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat butter, cocoa, and water. Bring to a full boil. Pour over flour mixture.
BEAT in buttermilk, baking soda, eggs, and vanilla. Beat well. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
