How to Make Collector's Cocoa Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting (recipe suggestions can be found online!).
