Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare three 9-inch cake pans
Mix flour, sugar, and cocoa in a large bowl. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and baking powder.
Add buttermilk, eggs, warm water, and oil. Blend until smooth, approximately 2-3 minutes. The batter will be thin. Divide the batter into three individual pans. Now Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick/knife is inserted and comes out clean.
Cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then turn over onto a rack to cool completely. Before assembling the cake, cool it completely.
