Comment préparer The Best Chocolate Cake Ever
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the oil, coffee, and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat for another 2 minutes. The batter will be thin.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 15 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- While cakes cool, prepare the icing: In a small saucepan, whisk together the ½ cup milk and ¼ cup flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and cover; refrigerate until completely cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, shortening, and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the cooled milk/flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture, beating on medium speed for 10 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with icing. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake.
- Refrigerate the frosted cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the icing to set.
