CHOCOLATE CAKE FROM SCRATCH

Chocolate Cake from Scratch image

Excellent chocolate cake from scratch with a twist. The coffee adds an extra dimension to the flavor. This has been everyone's favorite for years. A great recipe when paired with a cream cheese frosting. Very moist and enjoyable. You won't go back to a boxed cake again. Also makes great cupcakes.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1 cup brewed coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups white sugar
½ cup vegetable oil, such as (Crisco®)
2 eggs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x13-inch baking pan.
Combine flour, sifted cocoa, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl. Combine milk, coffee, and vanilla extract in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup.
Combine sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with milk mixture, beating batter briefly after each addition. Batter will be very runny. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
