Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cooled brewed coffee, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Once cooled, slice into 9 squares and serve. Enjoy your Coffee Cocoa Snacking Cake!
