In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, sugar, baking 

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.

Ice with your favorite chocolate buttercream frosting. I like vanilla buttercream.
