Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease and flour a 10-inch bundt cake pan, ensuring all surfaces are evenly coated to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This helps remove any lumps and ensures even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cooled brewed coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which can result in a dense cake.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. This allows the cake to set and makes it easier to remove from the pan.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a wire cooling rack and let it cool completely before serving or adding any optional glaze or powdered sugar topping.
Tips
- Use freshly brewed, high-quality coffee at room temperature for the most intense flavor profile.
- Sift dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, even cake texture.
- Do not overmix the batter—mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender.
- For extra moisture, consider using espresso instead of regular brewed coffee.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing to prevent breaking.
- Test cake doneness with a toothpick—it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a coffee glaze for added elegance.
