Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup hot coffee
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, hot coffee, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
To make the frosting, beat together 1 cup of softened butter and 6 cups of powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and beat until fully combined. Add a few tablespoons of milk if needed to get the desired consistency.
Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the frosting between the two layers and on the top and sides of the cake. Enjoy!
