Mocha Cake

This is my husband's favorite cake and for his birthday, decided to learn to bake it for the very first time. I didn’t have coffee icing so used what I had and he doesn’t like too much icing so didn’t put any.

Ingredient

2 cups

all-purpose flour

2 cups

white sugar

2/3 cup

unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup

vegetable oil

eggs

1 cup

buttermilk

2 tsp

baking soda

1/2 tsp

salt

1 tsp

baking powder

1 tsp

instant coffee or espresso powder

1 cup

hot water

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9 inch round cake pans.

* Step 2

Measure flour, sugar, cocoa, oil, eggs, buttermilk, baking powder, soda, and salt into a mixing bowl. Dissolve instant coffee in hot water, and add to mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth; batter will be thin. Pour into prepared pans.

* Step 3

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until an inserted wooden pick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto racks to cool completely.

* Step 4

Frost cooled cake with Coffee Icing. After frosting, melt some semisweet chocolate baking squares or chips in a double boiler. Drizzle chocolate around top outside edges letting it run down sides, or over top of cake.
