Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee (hot)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined; it will be thin.
- Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Frost: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
Notes
- This cake pairs beautifully with chocolate ganache or cream cheese frosting.
- For extra flavor, use espresso instead of coffee.
- The batter will be thin—this is normal and results in a moist, rich cake.
