List of Ingredients
Black Magic Cake
1-3/4 cups flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup baking cocoa (I use Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa)*
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup strong black coffee (or 1 tablespoon instant coffee dissolved in 1
cup boiling water )
1 cup buttermilk**
1 tsp. VanillaRecipe
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and lightly flour (I use cocoa) two 9-inch
round cake pans or one 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Sift together flour,
sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt into the mixing bowl
of a stand mixer. Add eggs, oil, coffee, buttermilk and vanilla. Beat
with electric mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into
prepared pan(s). Bake for 30-35 minutes for round pans, 35 to 40
minutes for rectangular pan or until a wooden toothpick inserted into
the center comes out clean. Cool in pan(s) on wire racks. Remove from
pans and cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
*If you can't find Hershey's Special Dark use any Dutch process cocoa.
That's what gives it the deep dark chocolate color.
**You can make buttermilk by mixing 1 tsp. of vinegar in regular milk,
but I use real buttermilk. I usually buy buttermilk when it's on sale,
freeze it in one-cup portions and then defrost the portions as needed.
