  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until just combined
  5. Carefully pour in boiling water and mix until batter is smooth
  6. Gently fold chocolate chips into batter until evenly distributed
  7. Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan and bake for 45-55 minutes until toothpick comes out with moist crumbs
