Ingredients

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • ¾ cup Cocoa Powder Sifted
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Buttermilk at room temperature
  • 1 cup Hot Water
  • 2 Large Eggs at room temperature
  • ½ cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray three 6-inch cake pans with non-stick spray. Set aside. 
  • Into the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, combine sifted flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine. 
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk, oil, hot coffee, and vanilla.
  • Put your mixer on low speed and add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix combined - about 1 minute. 
  • Distribute cake evenly between three 6-inch pans. I like to use a kitchen scale to ensure batter is divided equally. Bake for 28-35  minutes. 
  • Cool on cooling racks for about 10 minutes before inverting and removing cake from pans.
