3Add the buttermilk (1 cup), vegetable oil (½ cup), eggs (3 large), and vanilla extract (2 tsp) to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.

4Gradually stir in the hot water (1 cup) until the batter is smooth and well mixed.

5Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

6Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

8Once cooled, slice and serve the deliciously spongy and fluffy dry chocolate cake. Enjoy!
