Ingredients

  • 250 g Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 70 g Cocoa, powdered, unsweetened

  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder

  • 2 pinch Salt, table

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

  • 250 g Sugar, white

  • 0.75 cups Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla, extract, natural

  • 1 cup Sour cream

  • 1 cup Coffee, espresso

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a rectangular baking pan (23 x 33 cm) with butter and dust with flour. You can also line it with baking paper.

  2. In a bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Add salt and mix the ingredients well.

  3. In another bowl, mix the eggs, sour cream, oil, vanilla extract, and sugar. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix well with a whisk or spatula until you get a thick but completely smooth batter without lumps. Finally, pour in the hot coffee and mix again to get a fairly thin batter.

  4. Pour the batter into the baking pan and place it in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Optionally, you can spread it with chocolate ganache, chocolate glaze, or some other (chocolate) cream.
