2 large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup boiling water

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15-inch baking pan.
2 Combine flour, sugar, oil, buttermilk, cocoa, eggs, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add boiling water and mix well. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
