Ingredients:
- Butter8 Ouncesunsalted; plus extra for greasing too
- All-purpose flour1 3/4 Cups
- Sugar2 Cups
- Cocoa powder3/4 Cupsunsweetened
- Baking soda2 Teaspoons
- Baking powder1 Teaspoons
- Kosher salt1 Teaspoons
- Buttermilk1 Cupscold; shaken
- Vegetable oil1/2 Cups
- Eggs2extra-large
- Vanilla extract3 Teaspoonspure
- Freshly brewed coffee1 Cupshot
- Confectioners' sugar3 Cups
- Cream Cheese16 Ounces
Preparation mode:
1) Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2) Use butter to lightly grease 2 round cake pans (8-inch). Use parchment paper to line the bottom of the pans (do cut out the paper well according to the size of the pan).
3) Once done, flour the pans lightly. You may also use cocoa powder to dust the pans in case you are short of cocoa powder.
4) Place sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl of large size.
5) Mix the ingredients well using an electric mixer until the ingredients are well incorporated.
6) Place well shaken buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and vegetable oil in a small sized bowl.
7) Mix the ingredients well until the mixture becomes evenly combined.
8) Using an electric mixer or a hand held mixer, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients on low speed (batter must be quite thick by now).
9) Keeping the mixture on low speed, add coffee in it and mix it until it becomes well combined. Do scrape the bottom of the bowl while you add coffee in the mixture (the batter must be thin by now).
10) Bake it in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a wooden pick poked in the center of the cake comes out clean (you may also press your finger generously on the center of the cake and see if it puffs pack on its own).
11) Allow the cakes to cool for about half an hour.
12) Transfer the cake to a cooling pack and allow it to cool completely.
Frosting:
13) Place confectioners’ sugar in a large bowl and sift it well. Set it aside once done.
14) Place cream cheese and butter in a bowl and beat it well until the ingredients are well incorporated.
15) Add vanilla (2 tsp.) and then add confectioners’ sugar according to your desire.
Assembling:
1) Place a layer of cake on a cake pedestal.
2) Spread the frosting on top of the cake using a spatula or frosting knife.
3) Spread the frosting on sides of the cake.
4) Place the second layer on top of the first.
5) Apply the frosting equally on all sides of the cake and make a decent fluffy layer on top of the cake (you may also warm the spatula under hot water and then wipe it dry. This will allow you to smooth the cake sides).
