Ingredients
To make this delicious chocolate cake you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup hot coffee
Instructions
To make this delicious chocolate cake, start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the sugar and mix until combined.
In a small bowl, combine the eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and hot coffee. Whisk until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer until combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes have cooled, you can frost them with your favorite frosting.
Frosting Options
For a classic chocolate cake, a simple chocolate buttercream frosting goes perfectly.
To make a delicious chocolate buttercream, beat together 1 cup of butter and 4 cups of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and beat until combined. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of milk and beat until light and fluffy.
For an even richer frosting, try a cream cheese frosting. Beat together 1/2 cup of butter and 8 ounces of cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add 4 cups of powdered sugar and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and beat until combined. Finally, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of milk and beat until light and fluffy.
