Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water or brewed coffee
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (for cream filling)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for cream filling)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for cream filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream filling)
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry, then stir in hot water or coffee. Batter will be thin.
  5. Divide batter between pans and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  8. Once cakes are cooled, slice each in half horizontally for four layers (optional).
  9. Spread chocolate cream between layers, then frost top and sides with remaining cream.
  10. Garnish with chocolate shavings or sprinkles if desired. Chill before slicing.

Notes

  • Using hot coffee instead of water enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best texture.
  • The cake layers can be baked ahead and wrapped tightly for later use.
  • Refrigerate the finished cake for at least 1 hour before slicing for clean layers.
