- Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 30 seconds.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating for 20 seconds after each addition.
- Beat in 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and 1 cup buttermilk, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans.
