- 1-3/4 cup All-purpose Flour
- 2 cups Sugar
- 3/4 cups Cocoa Powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 cup Strong Black Coffee, Cooled (for 1 Cup I Use 2 Teaspoons Instant Espresso In 1 Cup Boiling Water)
- 1 cup Buttermilk (or Make Your Own Sour Milk By Mixing 1 Tablespoon Vinegar In 1 Cup Regular Milk)
- 1/2 cups Vegetable Oil
- 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 1/2 cups Butter
- 2/3 cups Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar (add Up To 1 More Cup, Depending On Taste)
- 1/3 cups Milk
Method
- For the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, vegetable oil and vanilla, and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Batter will be thin.
- Pour into a greased and floured 13"x9" pan and bake 35-40 minutes (or use two 9" round pans and bake for 30-35 minutes for a layer cake).
- For the frosting:
- Put the butter into a large microwave safe bowl. Melt butter in the microwave, heating for 30 seconds at a time until melted. Then stir in peanut butter until well combined.
- Stir in vanilla and salt. Alternately beat in powdered sugar and milk with an electric mixer, and taste when it begins to get thick and a spreadable consistency. Add up to 3 cups of powdered sugar if you prefer a sweeter frosting.
- Spread frosting onto cooled cake and serve.
