Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Brewed strong coffee (cooled)
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, brewed coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or electric mixer until just combined. Do not overmix, as this could make the cake dense.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving to add a decorative touch.

Step 10

Slice the cake into 12 pieces and serve. Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of milk!
