- 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour

Instructions
To make this delicious chocolate triple layer cake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Finally, stir in the hot water and chocolate chips until all ingredients are well combined.
Divide the cake batter evenly between the three prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool before adding the frosting. Place one layer of the cake on a cake plate and spread some of the buttercream frosting over top. Place the second layer of cake on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
