Choclate Cake | Vinegret

Name: Choclate Cake | Vinegret
Ingredients: All-Purpose Flour: The structure of the cake. Use all-purpose flour– cake flour is too light.; Unsweetened Natural Cocoa Powder: Do not use dutch-process cocoa powder. If desired, see dutch-process vs natural cocoa powder for more information.; Baking Soda & Baking Powder: Use both baking soda and baking powder for lift.; Salt: Salt balances the flavor.; Espresso Powder: Espresso powder is optional, but I recommend its addition because it enhances the chocolate flavor. The chocolate cake will not taste like coffee.; Oil: Don’t use butter in this cake batter. Cocoa powder is a particularly drying ingredient, so this cake needs oil for moisture.; Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract adds flavor.; Hot Coffee or Hot Water: Hot liquid encourages the cocoa powder to bloom and dissolve. If you don’t drink coffee, you can use hot water. For deeper flavor, though, use coffee.
