Dark, moist, chocolatey, and easy. Especially fabulous with Chocolate Marshmallow Frosting -- that was Sammy's 4th, 5th and 6th birthday cake.
1¾ C all-purpose flour, sifted
2 C sugar
¾ C cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 C hot black coffee
1 C buttermilk or sour milk*
½ C vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add eggs, coffee, milk oil and vanilla extract. Batter will be very thin. Bake in a greased and floured 13 x 9-inch pan at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes.
* To sour milk, use 1 tablespoon vinegar plus milk to equal 1 cup. Let sit for 5 minutes.
