Ingredients
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 kosher salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup buttermilk shaken
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot brewed coffee
Instructions
Preparing the Baking Pans
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease two 9-inch round cake pans thoroughly.
- Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mixing the Batter
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour in the hot coffee and stir gently until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Baking and Cooling the Cake
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 30 minutes.
- Carefully turn out the cakes onto a cooling rack and let them cool completely before frosting.
