Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Brewed coffee, cooled
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (for optional topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cooled brewed coffee, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish if desired.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your Cinnamon Mocha Snack Cake!
