Ingredients

2 ¹⁄₂ cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 tspCinnamon , optional

1 tsp salt

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup cocoa powder

2 ¹⁄₄ cups sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup boiling water

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).
In a bowl, use a fork to stir flour with baking soda, Cinnamon, if desired, and salt. In another large bowl, whisk oil with buttermilk, cocoa, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Pour buttermilk mixture over flour, then pour in boiling water. Stir just until mixed (batter will be runny). Do not overbeat, or cake will be tough.
Divide mixture between two 9” pans lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 35 minutes, until toothpicks inserted in the centre of cakes come out clean.
Let cool in pans. Run a knife along the inside edge of pans and turn cakes out onto cooling rack. Cool completely.
