Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 350F (conventional) and prepare a 9" cake pan with parchment paper and butter / oil If making your own buttermilk, mix 1/2 cup milk with 1/2 tbsp vinegar, stir, and set aside Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Sift the ingredients to make sure there are no lumps Break in the egg, and add the vegetable oil and buttermilk. Use a whisk to gently mix until the ingredients come together In a smaller bowl, mix boiling water with cocoa powder and instant coffee, and whisk until you get a shiny mix. This step blooms the cocoa powder and brings out its lovely chocolatey notes Add the bloomed cocoa powder mix to the cake batter, and gently fold until combined Pour the batter into the prepared pan Bake at 350F for about ~20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached Wait 10 minutes and then turn out the cake onto a wire rackView original recipe
