Set aside to cool.In large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Add in egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition. On low speed blend in chocolate and vanilla. Fold in flour, soda and salt alternately with buttermilk, beating after each addition till batter is smooth. Mix in egg whites. Divide batter among pans. Bake 8 inch round layers 35-40 min, till top springs when lightly touched with finger.
