Ingredients




2 cups King Aurthur Unbleached Cake Flour Blend
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, very soft
 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1/2 cup brewed, cooled coffee or water
4 large eggs

Preparation

1 Place a strainer over a large mixing bowl.  Measure in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa, and sugar.  Sift/shake the dry ingredients through the strainer into a mixing bowl, to eliminate any lumps. 2 Add the butter and mix at low speed for 1 minute.  With the mixer running, add the oil and continue mixing until the mixture looks like sand. 3 Combine the vanilla with the milk and coffee or water, and add all at once. 4 Mix for 1 minute at low speed, stop and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then mix for 30 seconds. 5 Add the eggs one at a time, beating well at medium-high speed between additions. 6 The batter will be thin. 7 Pour the batter into the prepared pan of your choice-(one 9x13 pan, two 9" round or three 8" round pans). 8 Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 34 minutes for 9x13; 28-30 minutes for 9" layers; or 24-26 minutes for 8" layers.  The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 9 Remove from the oven and cool on a rack before frosting.
