Provided by April Alvarez

Categories     Cakes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c all purpose flour
2 c sugar
3/4 c baking cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 c brewed black coffee
1 c milk
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 3. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes,or until when tooth pick is inserted in middle of cake and comes out clean,. Frost when cool I frost with buttercream frosting.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: When a recipe calls for room temperature ingredients, it means that they should be at the same temperature as the room. This helps them to combine more easily and evenly.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Together: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cake. Creaming the butter and sugar together incorporates air into the mixture, which helps the cake to rise.
  • Add the Eggs One at a Time: When adding eggs to the batter, do it one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake in a Preheated Oven: Always preheat your oven before baking the cake. This helps to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.

Conclusion:

The Black Magic Cake is a classic dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. With a moist, chocolatey crumb and a rich, creamy frosting, this cake is the perfect treat for any occasion.
