Method

  • In a big bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients; flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. You need not use an electric stand mixer for this. Just a whisk is enough for the entire process.
  • In an other large bowl whish all the wet ingredients; Milk, oil, coffee, eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix/ fold in well until everything is combined. Make sure there are no lumps.
  • Divide the cake batter into two cake pans, equally and bake it in the preheated oven for about 30 - 35 minutes, until the tooth pick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • If you do not like the coffee flavor in the cake, replace them with equal quantity of warm water.
  • Generally it takes 30 - 35 minutes to bake. But it totally depends on the oven. So keep an eye while baking and make sure it is not burnt.
  • Do not bake it more, once it is done. There is a possibility that the softness is lost.
  • The topping is just up to you. Use any kind of frosting, fruits and nuts of your choice and enjoy the cake.
Thank you.
