Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1/2 cup coffee liqueur
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix in the brewed espresso, coffee liqueur, and milk until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or coffee-flavored buttercream and enjoy!
