Ingredients
  • for cake
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsps Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2¼ tsps baking powder
  • 2¼ tsps baking soda
  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 1½ cup milk (you can use whole or skimmed)
  • 1 cup hot coffee

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Grease, flour, and line the bottoms of three 7" round cake pans.
  2. In a mixer bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the beaten eggs, vegetable oil, and milk. Stir to mix. Then, with the mixer on low, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix on low until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the hot coffee into the batter and mix on medium low until smooth. The batter will be soupy.
  5. Divide the batter between the cake pans.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  7. Level the cakes before assembling the cake.
  8. Stack the cakes, spreading a layer of frosting in between each cake layer. Frost the outside of the cake with the remainder of the buttercream.
  9. You can also keep some buttercream aside and add whatever color you like to make the splatters I did. Totally up to you!
