1 9x13 baking pan
1 hand mixer
- 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
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup coca powder unsweetened
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
Chocolate Glaze
- 2½ cups powdered sugar aka: confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
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.
