Preheat oven to 400 F and lightly grease a baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and sugar. In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, coffee and cocoa. Stir constantly until heated to a boil. Pour boiling mixture over flour and sugar. Add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda and vanilla. Mix well, using a wooden spoon or high-speed mixer. Pour batter into baking pan. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until done in centre.
