INSTRUCTIONS

Chocolate Cake:

1.  Preheat oven to 350F, grease three 6" round baking pans and dust with cocoa powder. Line bottoms with parchment.

2.  Place all dry ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Stir to combine.

3.  In a medium bowl whisk all wet ingredients (pour coffee in slowly as not to cook the eggs if very hot).

4.  Add wet ingredients to dry and mix on medium for 2-3 mins. Batter will be very thin.

5.  Pour evenly into prepared pans. I used a kitchen scale to ensure the batter is evenly distributed.

6.  Bake until a cake tester comes out mostly clean. A total of 30-35mins.

Cookie Dough Frosting:

1.  Beat butter until creamy, add sugars and beat on high until pale and fluffy (approx. 2-3mins). Add vanilla and mix until combined.
