Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Cake flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat until combined.
Gradually add the hot coffee to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thin.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
To make the Fudge Frosting, beat the butter in a large bowl until creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the milk, until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Frost the cooled cake with the Fudge Frosting.
