Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder preferably premium
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 1 cup boiling water or hot coffee for deeper flavor

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat eggs, sugars, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually mix in buttermilk.

        Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined.

          Add Hot Liquid: Stir in the hot water or coffee. The batter will be thin—this ensures a moist cake.

            Bake: Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool: Let the cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely before frosting.
