Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and dust with cocoa powder.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and hot coffee; mix until combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans before transferring to racks.
For the pudding filling, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, and water in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened.
Assemble the cake by layering one cake with pudding filling before topping with the second layer.
For frosting, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form; fold in melted chocolates before spreading over assembled cake.
