Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour.
- 2 cups of white sugar.
- 3/4 cup of dark cocoa powder.
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda.
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
- 1 cup of buttermilk.
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil.
- 2 large eggs.
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
- 1 cup of hot coffee.
Instructions
Prep the Oven
- Heat your oven to 350°F before you start. Grease your cake pans with butter.
Mix Dry Parts
- Put flour, sugar, and cocoa in a bowl. Add the baking soda and salt.
Stir the Dry
- Use a whisk to mix the dry parts. Make sure there are no cocoa lumps.
Add Wet Parts
- Pour in the buttermilk, oil, and eggs. Add the vanilla extract to the bowl.
Mix the Batter
- Use your mixer on a medium speed. Beat the batter for two minutes well.
Add Hot Coffee
- Pour the hot coffee in very slowly. Stir the batter by hand this time.
Fill the Pans
- Divide the thin batter between two pans. They should be even in size.
Bake the Cakes
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes total. A toothpick should come out clean.
Notes
- Use hot coffee. This makes the cocoa flavor much stronger.
- Use real buttermilk. It makes the cake very soft and moist.
- Do not overmix. Stop mixing once the flour is gone.
- Line pans with paper. Use parchment paper to prevent any sticking.
- Tap the pans. This removes air bubbles before you bake.
- Cool them fully. Wait before you add any sweet frosting.
