| Cake | ||||
 Preheat
the oven to 350°.In a mixer equipped with a beater, add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low for about a minute to combine the dry ingredients. Add the eggs, butter, buttermilk, and vanilla. Start off slow and boost it up to medium for about 3 minutes. Throw the cup of water in the microwave for 1 minute then stir in the instant coffee. Remove the bowl from the mixer and dump the coffee in. With a large spoon, stir the coffee into the batter until it’s smooth. Don’t try to do this with the mixer or you’ll be wearing the coffee. This will create a very loose batter. Grease and flour (2) 9" round pans (or spray them with Baker’s Joy). Divide the batter equally between the pans. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes and a cake tester comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. Flip them onto cooling racks for another 30 minutes. Put them in the fridge to cool completely, which makes them easier to ice. |
