This following recipe is one of my all time favorites. It happens to actually be my mom's recipe, and the cake she always made for me every year for my birthday growing up. Enjoy!!
Black Magic Cake
Ingredients:
2 cups white sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cups cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup coffee or espresso
1 cup buttermilk or sour milk*
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or coconut)
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9x13 cake pan.
In large bowl, mix first 6 ingredients. After mixed well, blend in remaining ingredients one at a time.
Due to the fact that this is such a "wet" cake, the time it takes to bake varies. So I'll say it can be anywhere from 50-80 minutes. Once it's been in for 50 minutes, just keep an eye on it. In the end, it'll be very moist, and more than worth the time you put into it.
*To make sour milk, take 3/4 cups of milk, and add 1/4 cup of vinegar to it.
Enjoy!

Do you put frosting on it? Or is it good without it?
ReplyDeleteNo, actually I don't use frosting. What I do is just sprinkle some powdered sugar on it before serving. It's really rich and moist so the frosting is unnecessary, but if you do want frosting, I would suggest a cream cheese frosting. :)
