This is by far the best chocolate cake you will ever have. It is so smooth and the warm vanilla makes it a bit more special for company. A big favorite at our house for those special occasions.

How to make it
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Beat butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. (About 5 minutes.)
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Dissolve coffee in hot water.
- Combine flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder; add alternatively with coffee liquid and buttermilk to creamed butter mixture, beating just until batter is blended.
- Pour into well grease and floured 12 cup tube pan or bundt pan. (I used powdered cocoa so no white marks would show when cake is removed from the pan.)

- Remove from pan and cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
- For topping: Combine all ingredients in medium size pan on medium to high heat.
