Black Magic Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9×13-inch dish.
3. Combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour coffee, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla into the well. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Batter will be thin.
