MAKE THE CAKE:

Whisk together sugar, cocoa, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour in a large bowl. Set aside.
Whisk oil, eggs, water, buttermilk, and vanilla in a large measuring cup or bowl.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Batter will be thin.

MAKE THE FROSTING RIGHT BEFORE USING:
Add powdered sugar and cocoa to a very large bowl. Whisk to combine and get out any lumps.
Pour in unsalted butter and mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer until crumbly, then add vanilla and salt.
Add milk and mix until frosting is smooth and the desired consistency. Use immediately.
