Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda & baking powder in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Add wet mixture to dry mixture and beat on medium for about 2 minutes. Pour into a greased & floured 9×13-inch pan. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center of the cake comes out clean. Do not over bake. Kahlua Pudding: Combine sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt, mix well. Whisk in cold milk and ¼ cup Kahlua. Cook over medium high on the stovetop stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute while stirring, remove from heat and stir in remaining Kahlua & butter. Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes over the cake. Pour warm pudding over the cake ensuring it seeps into the holes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before frosting (below). Refrigerate overnight before serving.
