Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cooled brewed coffee, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into 9 squares and serve. Enjoy your Coffee Cocoa Snacking Cake!
