How to Make Bobby Flay German Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 ½ cups (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter.
  4. Whisk in ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Remove from heat. Add 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar and 1 cup packed brown sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved.
  6. Stir in 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee, 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and just combined. **Missing Step Added: Gently fold in the dry ingredients from step 2 into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.**
  7. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 42-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let cool in pans on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  10. Invert cakes onto the wire rack and let cool completely before frosting.
