Eating Well's Died-and-Went-to-Heaven Chocolate Cake

This foolproof cake is one of our most popular recipes. Dutch-process cocoa is preferred here for its deep chocolate flavor.

Ingredients

Cake

* 1 3/4 cups all-purpose white flour

* 1 cup white sugar

* 3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder

* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1 1/4 cups buttermilk

* 1 cup packed light brown sugar

* 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

* 1/4 cup canola oil

* 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

* 1 cup hot strong black coffee

Icing

* 1 cup confectioners' sugar

* 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

* 1-2 tablespoons buttermilk, or low-fat milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 12-cup Bundt pan or coat it with nonstick cooking spray. Dust the pan with flour, invert and shake out the excess.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, white sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add buttermilk, brown sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Whisk in hot coffee until completely incorporated. (The batter will be quite thin.)

3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes; remove from the pan and let cool completely.

4. To make icing: In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough of the buttermilk or milk to make a thick but pourable icing. Set the cake on a serving plate and drizzle the icing over the top.
