Imagine a rich, moist chocolate cake with a hint of coffee flavor that elevates the overall taste. It’s perfect for coffee lovers and can be a real showstopper at any event.
Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot brewed coffee
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is just combined.
- Carefully stir in the hot coffee until the batter is smooth. Don’t worry if it seems thin; that’s exactly what you want!
- Evenly distribute the batter between the two prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate or mocha frosting, and decorate as desired!
Enjoy your delicious mocha cake! It’s bound to be a hit at your next birthday party or any celebration. Happy baking!
