Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
- Whisk together the cake flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk together the buttermilk, coffee, oil, eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl.

- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This helps the frosting set properly.
- For cupcakes, fill the liners only 2/3 full: This prevents the cupcakes from overflowing.
- Store the cake or cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also store them in the freezer for up to 2 months.
