How To Make my awesome chocolate cake recipe...

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare 4 - 9 inch pans, by spraying with a non stick baking spray such as Pam with Flour or Baker's Joy. For Cupcakes...this will make 48 cupcakes.

Step 2

In mixing bowl...add flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using the powder attachment, combine the ingredients thoroughly for about 1 minute.
Step 3

Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla to flour and mix on medium until well blended together. ***IF you are using yogurt, this is when you want to add it. With the mixer on Low....Slowly add the coffee. Mix for about 1 - 2 minutes. ***Note*** This will make the batter very thin. It's ok. It's supposed to be that way.
Step 4

Pour mix into prepped baking pans, do NOT fill more than 1/2 full. Bake for about 30 minutes. (depending on your oven) Remove from pans when cooled.
Step 5

For Cupcakes...fill cupcake papers 1/2 full and bake for 12 - 15 minutes. (depending on your oven)
Step 6

Frost and decorate cake, or cupcakes, as desired.
Step 7

*** Note *** Remember **** This batter is very thin. It's ok. It's supposed to be that way.
