Chocolate Birthday Cake

Hi! It's been a bit since my last post, I'm in a crazy for chocolate mood lately, and i made this 2 layers


chocolate birthday cake to celebrate my friend's birthday. Happy Birthday !


I get excited for birthdays. It give me an excuse to bake cake.

Layers cakes are a bit time consuming but oh my this one is worth it. The chocolate cake is moist and


low sugar.  I prefer cut down the sweetness.

It's a super chocolaty layer cake that has dark chocolate and cocoa powder. It was certainly worth making to celebrate this particular special occasion.

This cake is moist, rich and incredibly decadent. It's the perfect sort of cake for a birthday. Make sure to


enjoy it with avery large glass of ice cold milk.




          Ingredient:

11/2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup strong black coffee 
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans or one 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Set aside. 

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa(s), baking soda, baking powder. Mix on low until dry ingredients are thoroughly combined. Add eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for about two minutes; the batter will be thin. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes for round pans, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pan or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.

4. Frost as desired. I used a simple and delicious Chocolate Buttercream Frosting from Savory Sweet Life. One batch was perfect for this layered chocolate cake.
