TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup brewed coffee, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs

  • BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:
  • 1 cup butter, softened

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Add oil, coffee and milk; beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat 2 minutes longer.
    Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
