In a separate bowl / mixer add oil, eggs, vanilla on medium - high speed. Add the butter milk until all combined. Pour the wet ingredient’s into the dry ingredients. Whisk in the hot coffee. Divide batter evenly into two pans. Allow the pans to cool on a wire rack.

Butter cream icing - Add the butter to the mixer on medium speed until creamy (about 2 minutes). Add confectioner sugar, cocoa powder, heavy cream, salt, vanilla, mix for 30 secs on low speed, then increase to high speed for 1 minute. Add 1/4 more of cocoa if frosting is too thin or 1/2 tbsp of heavy cream if it’s too thick.

Once your cake pans are cooled off you can remove one of the cakes and place it on a plate, top with icing, add the additional cake, begin frosting the rest of your cake and topping it off with chocolate chips.
