Makes 12 servings

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Butter 2 (8-inch) round cake pans. Line with baking paper, then butter the pans.
Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix on low speed until combined. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mix until well combined.
