Place flour, sugar, cocoa, powder, soda and salt into a sifter and sift into a large bowl (or Kitchenaid bowl).
You will need to do this in two batches, unless you have a jumbo sifter -
Whisk all dry ingredients in bowl. OR if using a Kitchenaid, mix in mixer for 10 seconds.
-
Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and mix.
-
Add the buttermilk (secret ingredient no. 1), vanilla and oil. Mix until combined.

To check if done, insert a toothpick into the center. They are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
