Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (90g) cocoa powder
- 1½ teaspoons (7g) baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons (7g) baking soda

- 2 teaspoons (30mL) McCormick® vanilla extract

Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 3 months until ready to use.
- When ready to bake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare two 8-inch round cake pans.
- Whisk milk, oil, eggs, coffee and vanilla in a large bowl until well mixed and slightly frothy.
- Add the dry mix and whisk until just barely combined and smooth, about 50 strokes. (do not over mix)
- Divide between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake until set and slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Let cool in the pans 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack right-side up to cool completely.
