@batterwithian: 🍫 Chocolate cake might be the most debated cake ever. Some people want it rich and fudgy. Some want it light and fluffy. Some swear by butter. Others swear by oil. For me? I wanted a chocolate cake that does it all—deep chocolate flavor, incredibly tender, super moist, and sturdy enough to stack and decorate. Here’s my Tender Moist Chocolate Cake recipe! Makes: Two 8-inch cake layers Bake: 325°F (163°C) Dry Ingredients • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar • ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar • ¾ cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder • 2 tsp baking powder • 1 tsp baking soda • 1 tsp kosher salt Cocoa Bloom • 1 cup (240g) hot coffee Wet Ingredients • 3 large eggs • 1 cup (240g) whole milk • 1 tbsp (15g) white vinegar • ½ cup (120g) sour cream • ⅔ cup (150g) neutral oil • 2 tsp vanilla extract Directions 1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper. 2. Stir together the milk and vinegar. Let stand for 5–10 minutes to create a homemade buttermilk. 3. Whisk the cocoa powder into the hot coffee until smooth. Let cool slightly. 4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, homemade buttermilk, sour cream, oil, vanilla, and the cooled cocoa mixture until smooth. 6. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients in 3 additions, mixing just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix. 7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. 8. Bake for** 42-48 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. 9. Cool in the pans for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely #ChocolateCake #CakeRecipe #BakingFromScratch #HomeBaker #BatterWithIan

Does the coffee give off any coffee flavor in the end? Once it’s time to enjoy the cake.
