Ingredients
  • 2 Cups All purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 Cups Granulated sugar
  • 3/4 Cups Cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla (I like Mexican Vanilla)
  • 1 Cup Buttermilk
  • 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Cup Hot Coffee (I use Mexican Nespresso)
    • Chocolate Buttercream-Cream cheese Frosting
  • 1 Cup Butter (softened to room temp.)
  • 1 pkg. (8oz) Cream Cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 2 lb. bag Powdered Sugar
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Take two - 9" round cake pans and butter /grease the bottom and sides.

    Cut out two 9" round circles of Parchment Paper; place in the bottom of the cake pans.

  2. 2

    Place flour, sugar, cocoa, powder, soda and salt into a sifter and sift into a large bowl (or Kitchenaid bowl). 

    You will need to do this in two batches, unless you have a jumbo sifter
  3. 3

    Whisk all dry ingredients in bowl. OR if using a Kitchenaid, mix in mixer for 10 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and mix. 

  5. 5

    Add the buttermilk (secret ingredient no. 1), vanilla and oil. Mix until combined.

  6. 6

    Slowly pour cup of hot coffee (this is secret ingredient no.2) into batter. You need between 1/2 - 1 Cup of coffee.  You want the consistency a bit on the runny side, but not too runny.

  7. 7

    Be sure to scrap the sides and bottom of the bowl to get all the batter consistent.

    Pour into prepared pans and bake for 18 -20 minutes. 

  8. 8

    To check if done, insert a toothpick into the center. They are done when a toothpick comes out clean.

  9. 9

    Remove cake from oven and cool for 20 -25 minutes.  Once cooled, transfer cakes from pan to a wire rack and cool cakes completely.

  10. 10

    Once completely cooled, frost with chocolate buttercream frosting and ENJOY!
