For the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Slowly stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin).
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
