Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined and smooth.
  5. In a small bowl, dissolve the espresso powder in hot water. Pour into the batter and mix until incorporated.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool completely in the pans before turning them out. Level the tops if needed. If desired, slice each cake in half horizontally for thinner layers.
