You'll Need
- 1 & 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of sugar
- ¾ cup of cocoa powder
- 3 tsp. of baking soda
- 1 tsp. of cream of tartar
- 1 tsp. of salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of bold coffee - brewed
- 1 cup of buttermilk
- ½ cup of canola oil
- 1 tsp. of vanilla extract
- Frosting:
- 4 Tbsp. of melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup of cocoa powder
- 2 tsp. of vanilla
- 4 Tbsp. of milk 2%
Mix the dry ingredients together - flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt
Add the wet ingredients - eggs, coffee, milk, oil, and vanilla
Pour into a greased bundt pan or large 9x13 cake pan
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes - or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean
Flip onto a wire rack which is over wax paper
Chocolate Glaze
In a saucepan over medium heat - melt butter
Add vanilla, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk - stirring constantly
Let cool until thickened a bit
Pour over the cake - some will drip off onto the wax paper
For the glaze that drips off :
*If the chocolate is still pretty warm, it will be thin and you'll have a lot of run-off onto the wax paper.
Simply slide the wax paper out from under the cake and insert a new sheet of wax paper under the cake.
From the wax paper with chocolate glaze, pour the dripped glaze over the cake.
Repeat until most of the glaze is used up and on the cake.
Storage:
Store uncovered at room temperature for up to 3 days (but I doubt it will last that long)
