In a large saucepan, heat milk, butter and chocolate over low heat until melted. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, beat eggs and vanilla; stir in chocolate mixture until smooth. In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture and mix well (batter will be thin).

3. Stage

Transfer to 3 greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
