Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a small bowl, mix the cooled brewed coffee with the buttermilk.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the coffee-buttermilk mixture. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
-
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
-
Dissolve the instant coffee granules in a teaspoon of hot water, then add it to the frosting mixture and beat until smooth and creamy.
-
Once the cakes have completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate.
-
Spread a generous layer of frosting over the top of the first layer.
-
Carefully place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
-
For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some cocoa powder or chocolate curls on top of the cake.
