Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat your oven to 350F and butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. You can use cocoa powder in place of flour as well!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, espresso powder, and sugar.
- Add milk, vegetable oil, vanilla, and eggs to the flour mixture and beat together until combined. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer.
- Bring your cup of water to a boil and carefully add into the batter, mixing on a low speed.
- Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans and bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. It is a very moist cake so don’t be alarmed if the toothpick isn’t totally clean – just make sure there is no raw batter.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan and then remove from the pans and cool on a wire rack.
- Wrap your cakes in saran wrap and then aluminum foil and place in the freezer until you are ready to frost. This will make the frosting process much easier!
- Frost with my Chocolate Buttercream (dairy free options included) for the Ultimate Chocolate Cake!
