This from scratch chocolate butter cake is super moist and easy to make. Because it’s actually a chocolate cake with butter recipe, the cake has a really rich flavor to it that’s perfect for birthdays, or any time you feel like a homemade chocolate cake.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 cup cocoa (I used Hershey's cocoa - not dutch processed)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
• 1/4 cup oil
• 2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup hot coffee

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 inch round pans.
2. In a mixing bowl, add the room temp butter and the brown and granulated sugar. Beat on medium for about two minutes.
3. In another bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the oil, vanilla, milk and eggs. (You'll add the coffee later.) Set aside.
5. Now you'll add in your dry and liquid ingredients alternately. Take a third of the flour mixture and add into the butter and sugar mixture. Beat  on low/medium just until combined.
6. Add in half the liquid ingredients (not the coffee yet) and beat on medium just until combined. 
7. Add in the next third of the flour mixture, mix, then the second half of the liquid mixture and mix just until combined. Now add in the last third of the flour mixture and beat just until combined.
