Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup salted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup black coffee or water
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup salted butter (for icing)
  • 1/2 cup milk (for icing)
  • Dash of salt (for icing)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)
  • 1 box powdered sugar (1 lb)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10×15 baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the 1 cup of butter over medium heat. Stir in the cocoa powder and coffee (or water), bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until blended.
  5. Combine the hot cocoa mixture with the dry flour mixture, whisking until just blended. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. For the icing, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into a large bowl.
  8. In a saucepan, heat the 3/4 cup of butter, milk, and a dash of salt over medium heat until simmering, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  9. Pour the buttery milk mixture into the sifted sugar and cocoa and stir until smooth and creamy.
  10. Pour the icing over the warm cake directly out of the oven, allowing it to soak in slightly before letting it set.
