In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth.

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

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

Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite frosting and serve.
