Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, large
- 1 cups buttermilk
- 1 cups strong brewed coffee, hot
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes using a hand or stand mixer, or mix vigorously by hand until the batter is smooth and well-combined. The batter will be thin.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
Frost the cake with your favorite frosting or ganache. Chocolate buttercream pairs wonderfully with this cake.
Slice and serve the cake to enjoy its rich, moist texture and deep chocolate flavor.
