Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs, buttermilk, coffee, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed using an electric mixer or whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost them with your favorite chocolate frosting and decorate as desired. Serve and enjoy!
