Ingredients

2 Cups Sugar

1 3/4 Cups Flour

3/4 Cup Unsweetened cocoa powder

2 Tsp Baking soda

1 Tsp Baking Powder

1 Tsp Salt

2 C Eggs

1 Cup Buttermilk

1 cup Strong coffee cooled

1/2 Cup Vegetable oil

8 Cups Powdered Sugar

1/4 Cup Milk

Directions

Make Cake: Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans. Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in center and fill with eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil, and vanilla. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes, then remove layers from pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely, about 2 hours. MAKE FROSTING: Beat together 2 cups powdered sugar and remaining frosting ingredients in a very large bowl until smooth. Beat in remaining powdered sugar until smooth, adding more milk or coffee if necessary to make spreadable. Generously fill and frost cooled cake.
