Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two round baking pans with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, buttermilk, hot water, eggs, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; fold in dark brown sugar until glossy peaks form. Gently incorporate into the batter.
Divide the batter between prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
