Super Easy Chocolate Cake

So.. its that time of the year again to pamper my husband. It's his Birthday... Yuhuuuu !!! 

Keeping all the other fun items i needed to get my hands on, i landed on this super quick and definitely delicious chocolate cake. 

Next time u need to cook up something quick and yummy, try this one :) 

So then lets get started..... 

Ingredients:

2 cups sugar ( better if it's brown sugar )

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup strong black coffee

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

Heat oven to 180°. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans or one 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix on low until dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.Add eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for about two minutes; the batter will be thin.Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes for round pans, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pan or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely. Frost as desired. I used a simple whipped cream between two layers of the cake.

Notes:

1. Preferably use brown sugar than the normal sugar as it lifts up the flavor.

2. This cake also pairs beautifully with a simple chocolate ganache.

3. Before frosting, Spray sugar water all over the cake, this makes it super moist :) 

Try it out and let me know if you liked it.... 

Happy Cooking:)
