Yield: 8-10 servings
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients :
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup black coffee
- 2 eggs
Frosting:
- 1/3 cup softened butter
- 3 oz unsweetened or semi-sweet chocolate (melted)
- 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions for Creating Culinary Magic:
- Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F. Meanwhile, generously grease and flour two 8-9 inch cake pans, ensuring a smooth release for your creation.
- Dry Ingredients Ensemble: In a generously sized bowl, harmonize the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This sets the stage for the exquisite layers that will follow.
- Whisk the Symphony: Add to this melodic mixture the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, black coffee, and eggs. Use your whisk to beat the ingredients well, creating a thin, luscious batter that promises a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
- Pour and Bake: Artfully pour the batter into the prepared cake pans, ensuring an even distribution. Allow this creation to dance in the oven for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick emerges clean, signaling perfection.
- Frosting Crescendo: As the cake takes its final bow in the oven, commence the preparation of the enchanting frosting. In a crescendo of flavors, blend softened butter, melted chocolate, confectioners’ sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer until a smooth, velvety texture is achieved.
- Cooling Serenade: Once your cakes have completed their performance, let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before gracefully transferring them to a wire rack for a complete cool-down. Patience is key to the symphony of flavors reaching its full potential.
- Chill and Savor: For the grand finale, place your frosted masterpiece in the fridge to set up, intensifying the flavors and creating a luxurious texture. Now, let the grand symphony of Heavenly Chocolate Euphoria begin!
