Cake Preparation

- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Gradually add hot water to the batter, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thin.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting and Assembly
- In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Add milk and vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy.
- Once cakes are completely cooled, level them if needed. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread with frosting. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake.
- Decorate with Formula 1 themed decorations as desired.
