  Preheat  oven  to  375  degrees (F).  Grease and flour bundt cake
  pan. On waxed  paper, sift flour with baking soda and salt. In large
  bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, cream butter with sugar at
  medium speed. Cream butter with sugar until fluffy, add eggs, one at
  a time, beating well after  each addition. Alternately beat in
  buttermilk and flour until all has been added.
  
  Stir  cocoa  into  2/3  cup boiling water until dissolved. At low
  speed, beat  cocoa  mixture and almond extract into batter. Pour
  batter into bundt pan.  Bake 60 to 70 minutes or until cake tester

  rack. Frost with Velvety Frosting and refrigerate.
  
  Velvety Frosting:

  pieces over hot, not boiling water; cool slightly. In small bowl, mix
  1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened, with two eggs. Stir in
  chocolate until smooth and creamy.
  
  Note:  No sugar is used in this frosting recipe. Two layer cake:
  Prepare recipe as above, but bake in 2 greased and floured 9-inch
  cake pans for 45 minutes; fill middle and frost only top of cake, not
  the sides.
