Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips optional for extra richness
- powdered sugar for dusting optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the cooled coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until combined, but don’t overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Baking
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For decorating, consider dusting the top with powdered sugar, serving it with whipped cream or fresh berries, and heating slices in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy warm.
