Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Butter two 9-inch round cake pans generously and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the warm coffee, white vinegar, vanilla extract, and light olive oil. Whisk until well blended.
- Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and whisk just until combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then invert them onto wire racks to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and cocoa until fluffy. Add a pinch of salt and vanilla extract.
- Once the cake layers are cool, frost the first layer on a serving plate, add the second layer, and frost the top and sides.
- Slice generously and enjoy!
