- 235ml Buttermilk (1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- 215g All-purpose flour
- 50g (1/2 cup) Cocoa powder

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Dry Mix: Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Wet Mix: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla essence until smooth.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- The Secret Touch: Stir in the melted chocolate/butter mixture and the warm coffee. The batter will be thin, but that's the secret to the moisture!
- Bake: Pour into a greased pan and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Frosting: Melt chocolate and butter together. Whisk in icing sugar, cocoa, and whipping cream until smooth and glossy. Spread over the cooled cake.
🍫 Pro Tip: The warm coffee enhances the chocolate flavor without making the cake taste like coffee!
