Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Freshly brewed coffee (hot)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or spray them with baking spray. Set aside.
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. Mix on medium speed using a hand mixer or stand mixer until fully combined.
Slowly pour in the hot coffee, mixing continuously on low speed. The batter will be thin—this is normal.
Evenly divide the batter 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, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate or mocha frosting, and optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
Slice and serve your Mystery Mocha Cake, and enjoy the rich chocolate flavor with a subtle coffee twist!
