Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup coffee
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray 2 x 9″ cake tins or 3 x 8″ ones for thinner layers.
- Sift dry ingredients together, then mix in the rest of the ingredients except the coffee.
- Add coffee last and combine.
- Bake 35-40 mins or until the skewer comes out clean.
- I decorated it with store-bought icing that I colored, but I won’t make that mistake again – it was way too sweet and overpowered the cake, especially since I made 3 thin layers of cake with icing between and around it all.
- Next time I’ll make buttercream or butter & cream cheese icing.
- I topped it with store-bought macaroons, dark and milk chocolates, and fresh flowers.
- I’m a novice at creating clean icing lines, but I’ll keep practicing!
