Here’s how to whip up this chocolatey delight:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup coffee, cooled
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (160°C)–350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your pans: one 9×13″ dish, two 9″ round pans, or three 8″ round pans.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and sugar.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add oil, milk, and cooled coffee to the dry ingredients. Mix at medium speed for 2 minutes. Then, add eggs and vanilla, and beat for another 2 minutes. The batter will be thin.
- Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pans. Bake for about 45 minutes for the 9×13″ dish or 30 minutes for the round pans. Test with a cake tester or toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes before removing from pans. Cool completely before frosting.
Enjoy this delicious, chocolatey treat with your favorite frosting or simply as is!
