- ¾ cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) hot coffee (or hot water)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) evaporated milk
- ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups marshmallow fluff
- ½ cup (128 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped roasted peanuts
- 1 cup soft caramel candies (unwrapped)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream (for caramel)

Instructions
- Preparation: Activate the oven to 350F (175C), meticulously coat two 9-inch circular baking vessels with culinary lubricant and protective parchment, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Dry Component Fusion: In an expansive mixing vessel, integrate flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt through vigorous whisking, creating a uniform dry mixture with consistent texture.
- Liquid Element Incorporation: Introduce oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract into the dry blend, orchestrating a thorough amalgamation until the composition achieves a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Moisture Enhancement: Gradually infuse hot coffee into the batter, stirring gently; the liquid will transform the mixture into a thin, fluid state, which is perfectly normal and intentional.
- Thermal Transformation: Distribute the batter equitably between prepared baking receptacles, then position in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring until a diagnostic utensil emerges pristine when inserted. Allow cakes to cool completely, facilitating subsequent layering and decoration processes.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed hot coffee at around 190-200°F to enhance chocolate’s depth without scalding cake batter, ensuring rich flavor absorption.
- Check cake’s moisture by inserting toothpick at 30-minute mark; remove immediately when few moist crumbs remain to maintain soft, tender texture.
- Replace buttermilk with equal parts milk mixed with 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice if unavailable, maintaining cake’s tenderness and tangy undertone.
- Allow eggs and dairy products to reach room temperature before mixing, promoting smoother batter integration and more even cake rising.
