Chocolate Cake-Duff Goldman
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 sticks (1 cup) butter
- ½ cup brewed coffee
- ⅓ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 3 extra-large eggs
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Frosting of your choice
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350˚F and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a big bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the coffee, cocoa powder, and ½ cup water and heat it for a minute, stirring constantly. Pour the melted butter mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add it to the batter and mix until smooth
.
Divide the batter between the two cake pans, scraping all the batter from the bowl with a rubber spatula. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pans and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with the frosting of your choice... like that Swiss Buttercream!
