- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk together eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients; beat on medium speed of mixer 2 minutes (batter will be thin). Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.

Notes
- If baking in a 13x9-inch pan, bake for 35-40 minutes.
- If baking in a 12-cup bundt pan, bake for 50-55 minutes.
- This is a very moist cake, so consider using a crumb coat when frosting, and/or freezing the cake layers before frosting.
- Store leftover cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
