Ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated 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
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup black coffee (if using instant, use 2 tsp to make 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
-
Prepare Pan: Grease and flour one 13 x 9-inch baking pan. If you prefer a layer cake, you can use two 9-inch pans.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
Add Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, buttermilk, black coffee (if using instant, dissolve 2 tsp in 1 cup of water), canola oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and thin.
-
Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan(s), distributing it evenly.
-
Bake: Place the pan(s) in the preheated oven and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. It will take approximately 30-35 minutes for round pans and 35-40 minutes for rectangular pans.
-
Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. If you used 9-inch round cake pans, remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Frost: Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost them with your favorite vanilla icing. Get creative with your frosting decorations if desired!
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve slices of this Deep Dark Chocolate Cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk for a delightful dessert experience.
- Garnish with fresh berries or chocolate shavings for a touch of elegance.
