Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In one bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream together sugar and butter until fluffy; add eggs and buttermilk.
Combine both mixtures gradually while alternating with hot coffee until smooth.
Divide batter between pans and bake for 30–35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
Prepare pudding filling by cooking sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water until thickened; stir in cream and melted chocolate.
Assemble the cake by layering the pudding between cooled cake layers and frost the top with chocolate frosting.
