Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Prep your baking pans. You can either grease and flour your pans, or use parchment paper. See tips!
Into a mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil and vanilla to dry ingredients, and mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
Pour your batter evenly into your prepped cake pans. Gently tap the pans on the countertop to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate your pans. Bake for about 15 minutes more, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
When done, let your pans cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes, then remove cakes from the pans.
