Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray three 8-inch cake pans with baking nonstick spray, and line the bottoms with parchment paper before spraying again.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set the mixture aside.
Heat the water on the stove until it's steaming. In another bowl, combine the oil, sugar, vanilla, eggs, and buttermilk. Gradually add the hot water to this mixture while stirring gently to avoid cooking the eggs.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
For an even more decadent flavor, try adding a chocolate ganache on top after cooling.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
