Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round baking pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, hot water, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually combine the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just mixed; avoid overmixing.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cooling in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Frost with dulce de leche frosting made from whipped cream mixed with melted dark chocolate.
