Equipment

  • 1 9x13 baking pan
  • 1 hand mixer

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk 2%
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup hot black coffee
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup coca powder unsweetened
  • cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt

Chocolate Glaze

  • cups powdered sugar aka: confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 °F and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.
    Gently spray the parchment paper with a neutral cooking oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, milk, sour cream, vanilla, and vegetable oil with a hand mixer.
  • Next, add both sugars and mix to combine.
  • Slowly add the all-purpose flour, coco powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and gently mix to combine until no clumps remain.
  • Add the hot coffee and beat on low speed until combined.
  • Gently pour in the batter into your prepared baking pan.
    *The batter will be a thinner consistency, thats totally normal!
  • Allow the cake to cook for 40-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
    Sammy's tip: if the edges are browning too quickly, lightly tent the cake with foil and continue to bake.
    Allow the cake to cool entirely before adding the glaze.
  • In a medium size bowl, prepare the chocolate glaze by whisking all ingredients together really well until no clumps remain.
    To achieve a thinner consistency add an additional splash or two of cream.
    To achieve a thicker consistency, begin by adding only 2 tbsp of cream, and slowly work your way up.
  • Drizzle the cake with the chocolate glaze, slice and serve.
