Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Then, slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until well combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.

Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
