1 cup buttermilk
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup hot water
4 cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup butter at room temperature
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan.
Whisk buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients to buttermilk mixture and whisk in hot water. Spread batter in prepared cake pan.
