Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c cake flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c cocoa powder
2 Tbsp instant coffee, decaffinated
2/3 c vegetable oil
1/2 c buttermilk
1/2 c water
1 tsp almond extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350F. In a large bowl sift the first 6 ingredients.
  • 2. Then add in the next 4 ingredients & mix well until smooth.
  • 3. In a separate bowl beat the eggs until thick & foamy. Then gradually add in the sugar & continue to beat well.

  • 5. Then pour batter into 2 waxed paper lined 8-inch sqaure pans or one 13 x 9 inch oblong pan.
  • 6. Bake for about 35 to 40 mins.

Tips:

  • To ensure an even bake, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
  • Measure flour correctly by spooning it into a measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or cocoa powder.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly.
  • To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
  • For a smooth and glossy frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
  • To create a mocha flavor in the frosting, add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder or a teaspoon of espresso powder.
