Directions:Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 10-inch tube pan with nonstick cooking spray for baking; set aside. Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour hot coffee over; do not stir. Let stand 2 minutes. Whisk chocolate and coffee mixture until smooth; cool. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla; set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until combined, about 30 seconds; set aside.
In a very large bowl beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed, scraping down sides as necessary, about 2 minutes. Add oil; beat 2 minutes more. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately add flour mixture and chocolate mixture, beating on medium-low speed after each addition until fully incorporated. Increase speed to medium high; beat 20 seconds more. Set chocolate batter aside.
Using a 3-inch snowman cookie cutter, cut 12 to 15 snowmen from vanilla cake; set snowmen aside.
To assemble, spread half of the batter into prepared tube pan. Place snowmen cutouts, heads down, into batter, about 1/2 inch apart. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large open round tip with some of the remaining batter. Piper (or spoon) batter around snowmen, keeping them evenly spaced. Spoon remaining batter over snowmen to within 1-inch of top of pan; carefully spread to cover. Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake cake 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a long skewer inserted near center of cake comes out clean. Loosely cover cake with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning. Remove; cool 15 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Using a table knife, loosen sides and around tube. Invert pan onto the rack; remove pan. Cool cake completely.
