Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup hot brewed coffee

 

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Stir in hot coffee until smooth.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Optionally, melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the cake for extra indulgence.

Notes
