3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups hot water

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pans.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.

4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

5. Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.

6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans and placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Once the cakes are completely cool, you can frost and decorate them as desired.
