Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, large
• 1 cups buttermilk
• 1 cups strong brewed coffee, hot
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes using a hand or stand mixer, or mix vigorously by hand until the batter is smooth and well-combined. The batter will be thin.

Step 4

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting.

Step 7

Frost the cake with your favorite frosting or ganache. Chocolate buttercream pairs wonderfully with this cake.

Step 8

Slice and serve the cake to enjoy its rich, moist texture and deep chocolate flavor.
