Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined with no clumps of cocoa powder.
Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and whole buttermilk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well incorporated.
Stir in the hot coffee (or hot water) and continue whisking until the batter is completely smooth, noting that it will be thin.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and gently tap it on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking after 30 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before applying frosting.

Notes

For best results, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
You can replace hot coffee with hot water if you prefer a lighter chocolate flavor.
Top with your favorite frosting for an extra delicious finish.
