Directions
Combine oil, cocoa, and sugar in mixing bowl and beat on low speed until well-mixed. Add eggs; beat on medium speed until well blended. Add salt, buttermilk, flour, and vanilla.
Add to the mixture on low speed until combined; then beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Add soda to hot water; dissolve well. Add gradually to the cake batter and mix just until combined. (Batter will be very thin before baking.)
Bake in greased and floured 13x9 inch baking pan or 2 layer pans at 375℉ (190℃) F for 40 minutes. Test with a toothpick in center of cake for doneness. Let cake cool before serving.
Frost with Chocolate Fudge Frosting, if desired.
