Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
