Chocolate Cake

 

Source: Sally's Baking Addiction (adapted slightly)

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons espresso powder
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 cup freshly brewed hot strong coffee

Directions:
Whisk together the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Set aside. In another mixing bowl, use a stand mixer to whisk together the oil, eggs and vanilla on medium-high speed until combined. Add the buttermilk and whisk until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, a little at a time, whisking each time until combined. Slowly add the coffee, a little at a time, whisking each time until combined. Batter will be thin. Spray 2 8 or 9 inch cake pans with cooking spray, line the bottoms with parchment paper, and spray again. Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake at 350 for 23-26 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool the cakes completely in the pans before icing.
