Ingredients
1 ¾ c. unsifted all-purpose flour
2 c. sugar
¾ c. unsweetened cocoa
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 c. strong black coffee [2 tsp. instant coffee granules w/ 1 c. boiling water]
*I typically just use boiling water for this part-makes a great basic chocolate cake
1 c. buttermilk or sour milk [1 tbsp. vinegar plus 1 c. milk]
½ c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla
Preparation
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in large mixer bowl. Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla and beat 2 minutes on medium speed [batter will be very thin!].
Pour into greased and floured 13x9 pan or two 9 in. pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
