Ingrédients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot brewed espresso
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla to the flour mixture and beat until well combined.
- Pour in hot espresso and mix until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and instant coffee granules, beating until smooth and spreadable.
- Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate. Spread frosting over the top, then top with the second layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Allow the cake to set for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors develop.
