Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and instant espresso powder. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Stir in the brewed espresso until fully incorporated into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
