Triple Chocolate Cake

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder.
2. In a large measuring cup, combine buttermilk, oil, vanilla and eggs.
3. With the mixer on low, slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture until combined.
4. Slowly stream the hot coffee into the mixer bowl as you continue to mix. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix until combined.
5. Carefully stir the pudding mix and chocolate chips into the batter.
6. Pour the batter into a baking pan that has been lined with parchment paper and then greased and floured. (I used a 9×13 for this cake because I was making it for a birthday cake. However, you can also make two 9-inch round cakes for a delicious layer cake.)
7. Bake at 325 F for 50 minutes or until completely set in the middle.
8. Remove from the oven and allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
9. Carefully turn the cake out of the pan onto a cooling rack and allow to sit until completely cooled.
10. Cover with a chocolate glaze, buttercream icing, or just a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!
