Cake
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot coffee
“Cream” filling
- 1 tin condensed milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting
- 40 ml butter
- 60 ml cocoa powder
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 30 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease/line 2 9-inch cake pans.
- In a large bowl, sift together all dry ingredients.
- Make a well in the center and mix in all remaining ingredients except for the coffee.
- Lastly, add the coffee and mix to combine.
- Pour into pans and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
- Turn out onto a rack and cool before icing.
Cream Filling
- Empty the condensed milk into a saucepan and heat over medium heat while
stirring continuously. - After about 15 minutes, it will be thickened but not browned – look for a consistency that's just a bit less thick than frosting.
- Allow it to cool before spreading it between the 2 cake layers.
- I used almost all of it.
Frosting
- Whisk butter and cocoa powder together very thoroughly until perfectly
smooth. - Add icing sugar, milk, and vanilla and mix until smooth and perfectly combined.
- Spread it over the top of the cake and enjoy!
- Made for a happy birthday cake for my hubby – barely anything came home from
his work for us to try. - It was delicious
