  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup hot coffee or hot water

For the Chocolate Frosting

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and milk. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the hot coffee or hot water. The batter will be thin, which helps create a moist cake.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Step 6

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Mix in the cream, vanilla, and salt until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

Step 9

Spread frosting between the cake layers, over the top, and around the sides. Decorate with your favorite toppings.

🍽️ Method

This recipe uses the classic creaming and baking method, producing a cake that is tender, moist, and rich in chocolate flavor. Adding hot coffee or water enhances the cocoa’s depth without making the cake taste like coffee.
