Combine flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl; set aside.

Beat sugar and 1/2 cup butter on medium speed in large bowl until creamy. Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat until well mixed. Add chocolate mixture; beat until well mixed. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to chocolate mixture, beating well after each addition, until well mixed. Pour batter into prepared pans.

Spread frosting over top of each cake; stack layers. Frost side of cake, if desired.

**Substitute 1 tablespoon vinegar plus enough milk to equal 1 cup.
