  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

  3. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix them together until they're fully combined.
  4. Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, stirring it in by hand. The batter will be thin and liquidy, but don't worry.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
  8. After 10 minutes, remove the cakes from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
