Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 tsp Baking powder
- 1.5 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Brewed coffee (hot)
- 1 tbsp Butter (for greasing)
- 1 tbsp Cocoa powder (for dusting pans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter and dust them lightly with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use a handheld or stand mixer set to medium speed and beat until the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.
Slowly add the hot brewed coffee to the batter. Mix gently on low speed until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin — this is normal.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in 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 invert the cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost or glaze as desired, and serve. Enjoy your Chocolate Java Cake!
