Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans with butter or nonstick spray.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder until well combined.
-
Step 3.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup vegetable or canola oil, 1 cup milk, 1 cup cold coffee, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
-
Step 4.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula or whisk until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
-
Step 5.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Step 6.
Let the cakes cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto the rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
