Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups (250 g) sugar
• 1 tsp (4 g) baking powder
• 1 3/4 tsp (9 g) baking soda
• 2 1/4 cups (290 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (95 g) cocoa powder (dutched)
• 3 large eggs (about 170 g)
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
• 10 tbsp (135 g) vegetable oil (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp)
• 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) buttermilk
• 1 1/4 cups (295 ml) strong coffee
• 1 1/4 tsp (8 g) salt

Method:

1. Preheat & Prepare:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch (23 cm) cake pans.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Then, add the buttermilk and coffee, mixing until smooth.

4. Blend & Bake:
   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and whisk until everything is well combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

5. Cool & Enjoy:
   Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before turning them out onto a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely before icing.
