Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, oil, milk, vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  • Add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon powder, salt, baking powder, baking soda and mix until partially combined.
  • Stir in hot brewed coffee until batter is smooth and creamy. Batter will be very thin and that's normal.
  • Pour batter in two round cake pans (Dimensions: 9x2) that are lined with parchment paper and greased along the sides.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool down fully.
  • While they are cooling, prepare chocolate icing.
  • Remove parchment paper from bottom of each cake.
  • Place one cake on a cake stand and spread icing on top.
  • Then, place the other cake on top of the icing and press gently to secure it together.
  • Ice the whole cake.
  • Use the back of a spoon or spatula to create a rustic design.
  • Toss mini chocolate chips and sprinkles on top.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
