Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two 8-inch round cake pans. Add cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and then pour into the bowl of a mixer. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  2. Slowly add eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  3. Divide batter between pans. Bake until set and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.
  4. Let cool for 15 minutes. Turn out from pans. Transfer to wire racks. Let cool completely.
