1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour (using cocoa powder ideally - see note) two 9-inch
baking pans and line them with parchment circles.
2. In the large bowl of a standing mixer, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt on low
speed for one minute
3. Add eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until batter
forms, about 30 seconds, Pause to scrape down sides and bottom of mixer bowl as well as the
paddle. Beat 15 seconds more, until mixture is mostly smooth.
4, Remove bowl from mixer and stir in hot coffee with a rubber spatula. Batter will be very runny.
5, Pour batter evenly between the two pans and bake on middle rack of oven for 25-35 minutes,
until thermometer inserted in the middle reaches 190°F.
6. Allow to cool 15 minutes in pans, then run a butter knife around the edges of each cake. Line two
cooling racks with parchment paper. (See note)
7. Place a cooling rack over top of each pan. Wearing oven mitts, use both hands to hold the racks
in place while flipping the cakes over onto the racks. Set the racks down and gently thump on
the bottom of the pans until the cakes release. Cool completely before handling or frosting.

NOTES
For FROSTING the cake: here's a link to the fluffy whipped chocolate frosting pictured, you don't
want to miss this incredible, airy chocolate buttercream. It's so easy. This fluffy vanilla frosting is
another tested-tll-perfect gorgeous frosting option
Use cocoa powder to dust your pans instead of flour. Flour can leave a gummy white residue
on the finished cakes
Line your cooling racks with parchment paper before flipping the pans over onto them. This
prevents the cake layers from sticking to the wire racks.
Can you taste the coffee? Absolutely, 100% no, you can't taste it at ALL. You won't know it's
there, it just deepens the flavour of the chocolate
luse decaf instant coffee so | don't have to worry about caffeine but feel free to use plain
boiling water instead. Still an absolutely delicious (and very moist) chocolate cake.
To bake in a 9x13" pan, bake at 325°F for 35-45 minutes (start checking at 35 minutes).
To make cupcakes, line muffin tins with paper liners and spray the pan (it's a moist cake, which
can stick). Fill the cups only halfway full. Bake at 375°F for 18-22 minutes. It makes 24 cupcakes
‘or 48 mini cupcakes.
Don't have buttermilk? In a pinch you use one of these buttermilk substitutes.
