INGREDIENTS
- Flour 1 3/4 cup
- Sugar 2 cups
- 1/2 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- Baking soda 2 teaspoons
- Baking yeast 1 teaspoon
- Salt 1 teaspoon
- Eggs 2
- Brewed coffee 3/4 cup
- Butter milk 1 cup
- Vegetable oil 1/2 cup
- Vainilla 2
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix using a paddle attachment.
- Add the eggs and coffee to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth paste. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
- Slowly add the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla to the dough while the mixer is on. Adding liquids slowly will help prevent lumps from forming.
- Large two eight inch cake pans.
- Distribute the dough between the molds. The dough should be about 3/4 the height of the sides of the pan. Don’t worry if the dough seems a little runny, it should be!
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes in a 350ºF oven or until the center of the cake springs back to the touch. Cool the cakes and then frost them with your favorite dark chocolate frosting.
Advice:
This batter also makes fantastic cupcakes – dark magic cupcakes look like something you could definitely eat in one bite!
Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting is a great choice because the tangy cream cheese perfectly complements the rich chocolate cake.𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐦
