How to Make Paige's Black Magic Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Set the dry ingredients aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared 9x13 inch pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake starts to brown too quickly on top, loosely tent it with foil.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or serving. Enjoy!
