Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot coffee

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine wet ingredients with the dry ones, mixing until just combined. Stir in hot coffee until the batter is smooth and thin.

  5. 5

    Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.

  6. 6

    Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. 8

    Frost with your favorite frosting once cooled, and serve.

Chef's tip

Using hot coffee enhances the chocolate flavor, but you can substitute with boiling water if preferred. Ensure cakes are completely cool before frosting to avoid melting.
