soda, baking powder, and salt. Add eggs, yolk, water, buttermilk, butter, and vanilla and whisk to combine.
Divide batter evenly among the two pans and bake about 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool on a wire rack in the pan for 10-15 minutes. remove from pan and cool completely (about 2 hours) before icing.
Ice with your favorite chocolate buttercream frosting. I like vanilla buttercream.
