Description

This chocolate cake recipe with dark roast coffee, buttermilk, and cocoa bakes up spongy and moist for a delicious and decadent black magic dessert.

Ingredients

2 cups white sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup strong brewed coffee
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch dish.
3 Combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour coffee, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla into the well. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Batter will be thin.
4 Pour into the prepared pans.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
6 Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and finish cooling on a wire rack.
7 Fill and frost as desired.
