Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray 3 9 inch round pans with non-stick baking spray.
Add eggs and sugar to bowl of your stand mixer and beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes.
While mixture beats, add cocoa powder, instant coffee powder and salt to hot water in a separate bowl. Slowly add this mixture to the eggs and sugar.
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Turn the speed down to low then add in the dry ingredients in intervals. Next, add vegetable oil, buttermilk and vanilla extract to the mixer and beat until just combined. Batter will be sort of thin but this is normal.
Evenly divide cake batter to all three pans and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to rest for 10 minutes before removing from pans to cool completely.
Add butter, confectioner's sugar to bowl of mixer and mix on high speed. Then add in cocoa powder and continue mixing until smooth.
Lastly add in vanilla extract, milk and salt until frosting is fluffy and smooth.
Add frosting to each layer and stack on each other. Finally frost the sides and top of cake and serve it up.
