Instructions

For the cake:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Grease two 8-inch round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
Add the hot water to the mixing bowl and stir until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pans and smooth out the top with a rubber spatula.
Bake the cakes for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the frosting:

In a mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and milk to the mixing bowl and beat until well combined.
Frost the cooled cakes with the chocolate frosting.
