Preheat oven to 350°F. Line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and spray with baking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir in vegetable oil until dry ingredients are well coated, followed by eggs, vanilla, and molasses.
Stir in buttermilk until combined, followed by hot coffee.
Add batter evenly to prepared cake pans and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick entered into the center of the cakes comes out smooth.
Cool cake layers slightly in cake pans, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before adding frosting.
Beat softened butter and softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing on low until combined. Turn speed to high and mix another 2 minutes.
Spread frosting over cooled cake layers.
