Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and black food coloring until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and beat for about 2-3 minutes on medium speed until smooth.
