How to Make The Best Easy Chocolate Cake Ever

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