I love chocolate. L-O-V-E it, I know that's a total girl stereotype but I can't help it and don't care. If you're having a bit of a chocolate craving give this recipe a try - I've had it so long that it's actually written by hand on a card in my recipe box {whereas most of them are typed and printed because I have handwriting that is normally too big and loopy to fit a whole recipe on one card}. I have a few excellent chocolate cake recipes but this is for sure the easiest, quickest, and least messy to make - perfect for when you gotta have chocolate and you dont want to wait forever until you get it. Enjoy!
Yummy Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup flour
2 cup sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup strong black coffee
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate frosting:
In a medium bowl sift together 2 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder, & 6 tablespoons dutch process cocoa powder then set aside. In a large bowl cream 6 tablespoons of butter until smooth then gradually beat in sugar mixture alternating with evaporated milk until you get the consistency that you like {I usually need about 4 ounces of evaporated milk - add it a couple of tablespoons at a time so that you have more control}. Mix in 1 tablespoon of vanilla and you're done!
Directions:
1. Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans & pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, & salt in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer {or just a large bowl if you only have a hand-held mixer}.
3. Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil, & vanilla.
4. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes {batter will be thin} then pour into prepared pans.
5. Bake 30-35 minutes.
6. Cool completely then frost with chocolate frosting.
