Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Grease and flour a 10 inches (25cm) bundt pan. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl with a stand or handheld mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla just until combined. 
  • Stir in dry ingredients to combine. The batter will be very thick. Slowly mix in hot water until combined. The batter will be very thin.  
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Depending on the shape of your bundt pan, the baking time may vary. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 hour. After cooling, invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. 
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
