Crafting the Chocolate Symphony
Follow these simple steps to achieve chocolatey perfection:
Preheat your oven : Set it to a tantalizing 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, lining the base with parchment paper.
Sift and Whisk: In a large bowl, sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda. Add sugar and salt, whisking to eliminate any lumps.
Blend the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, sour cream, and vanilla. Pour this velvety mixture into the dry ingredients.
Mix and Add Coffee: Use an electric hand mixer on medium-low until the batter is thick. Gradually add hot coffee in two stages, beating until the batter is smooth and clump-free.
Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly between pans and bake for 30-33 minutes. Your cakes are ready when they spring back and a skewer comes out clean.
Cool and Frost: Let the cakes cool for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cool, generously cover them with the BEST Chocolate Fudge Frosting!
