  well covered cake tin or wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator.
  
  For one 10" cake you will need:
  
  Fresh sliced strawberries, for garnish
  
  Cream butter with sugars until smooth and well blended.
  
  Add chocolate and eggs, one at a time. Beat until fluffy.
  
  Mix flour and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture.
  
  Blend in buttermilk and vanilla, stir until smooth. Add chocolate
  chips.
  
  Turn batter into a well-greased and floured 10" tube baking pan.
  
  Bake at 350 F for 40 to 50 minutes or until a cake tester comes out
  clean.
  
  Let cake cool in pan for a couple of minutes.
  
  Turn cake out of pan onto a wire rack. Cool completely.
  
  Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries or other berries.
  
  Serve with a dollop of whipping cream.
