4. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yolk disappears.
5. Combine 1 1/4 cups buttermilk and next 2 ingredients.
6. Add flour mixture to egg mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
7. Beat at low speed after each addition. Fold in bittersweet chocolate morsels.
8. Pour batter into 2 lightly greased (with vegetable cooking spray) 12-cup Bundt brownie pans, filling each about three-fourths full.
