Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ¼ cups packed dark brown sugar
¾ cup white sugar
4 large eggs, separated
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk
1 cup hot coffee

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line three 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper. Grease the pans and dust with cocoa powder.
  • Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat butter, dark brown sugar, and white sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Beat on medium-high until fluffy.
  • Pour melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the bowl with the sugar mixture; mix on low speed until combined. Alternate adding flour mixture and buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, mixing on low speed. Pour in coffee slowly in a steady stream; mix on low speed until smooth.
  • Use an electric mixer to beat egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold gently into batter. Divide batter evenly between the 3 prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes, making sure not to overbake. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes; turn out onto waxed paper to cool completely before frosting.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and the frosting was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a 9x13 inch pan and it cooked evenly. The frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a delicious cake.
