Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)

½ cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

1 cup unsweetened whipped cream (for topping)

Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients – In another bowl, whisk together the cooled brewed coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Step 4: Make the Batter – Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips – If desired, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
  6. Step 6: Divide the Batter – Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Step 7: Bake – Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Cool the Cakes – Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 20 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Step 9: Prepare the Topping – While the cakes are cooling, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. This will create a luscious, creamy topping.
  10. Step 10: Assemble the Cake – Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top, and then add the second cake layer.
  11. Step 11: Garnish – Finish by topping the cake with additional whipped cream, and garnish with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for a polished and elegant touch.

Notes

Variations: Add-ins: Add a handful of chopped nuts (such as walnuts or hazelnuts) or a drizzle of caramel sauce between the cake layers for extra texture and flavor. Flavored whipped cream: For a twist, add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the whipped cream for an extra coffee kick or a splash of vanilla extract for added depth. Layered cappuccino: Add a layer of coffee-flavored mousse or cream cheese frosting between the cake layers for a more indulgent dessert.
