In a large bowl, whisk together the white sugar and all-purpose flour until well combined. In a separate small saucepan, combine 1 cup of melted butter, 1 cup of water, and 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Stir over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the melted butter mixture over the sugar and flour, then beat well to combine. Add the baking soda, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract, and beat until the batter is smooth and uniform. Pour the batter into your prepared pan. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
