4. Add the oil, coffee and vanilla to the eggs, mix until well incorporated.
5. Add the flour to the mix, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing after each addition until just incorporated. Start with the flour first, then buttermilk, flour, buttermilk and end with flour.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. (Hold the pan up a few inches from the counter and let it fall to get rid of air bubbles in the batter.)
7. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour. Or 350 degrees for 30 minutes for a layered cake. Test for done-ness with a toothpick.
