2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup water
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a medium saucepan combine butter, cocoa powder, and water. Bring mixture just to boiling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add the cocoa mixture to flour mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until thoroughly combined. Add eggs, buttermilk, chocolate chips and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute, batter will be thin. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
