Ingredients
To prepare your Mocha Cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and ¾ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 and ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 and ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
Instructions
Now that you have all the ingredients, follow these simple instructions to create your Mocha Cake:
- 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 powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
- Stir in the boiling water and brewed coffee until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin—that’s perfectly fine!
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For frosting, you can use your favorite chocolate or coffee frosting recipe. Frost between the layers and over the top and sides of the cake.
- Slice and serve, enjoying the rich flavors of mocha in every bite!
This Mocha Cake is perfect for any celebration—or as a well-deserved treat for yourself. Enjoy the delightful combination of coffee and chocolate, baked to perfection!
