2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water

Vanilla Buttercream

3/4 cup butter, softened
3-4 cups powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons cream or milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Making the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare two round 9-inch cake pans by greasing them and lining the bottoms with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Slowly add the boiling water and stir until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans and transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cakes are cool, you can start making the buttercream.

Making the Buttercream

In a medium bowl, beat the butter until it is light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, cream or milk, and vanilla extract and beat until combined. If the frosting is too thick, you can add a little more cream or milk. To assemble the cake, place one of the cake layers on a serving plate and spread a layer of buttercream on top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining buttercream over the top and sides of the cake.

You can garnish the cake with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or any other decorations of your choice. The cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
