Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder preferably Dutch-processed
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.75 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot brewed coffee

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Stir in the hot brewed coffee until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

Best served chilled or at room temperature for full flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
