Chocolate Cake

​2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
¾ cup baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup strong brewed coffee, room temperature
1 cup milk
2 eggs
 
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees; generously grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan or 2 9 inch round pans.
 
2. In a large bowl thoroughly whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add oil, coffee, milk and eggs and beat on low until incorporated, then for two minutes on high. Batter will be thin.
 
3. Transfer to prepared pan(s) and bake until well-risen and center springs back when touched, about 45 minutes for a 9x13 inch pan and 30 minutes for round pans. Run a knife around edges and cool in pans on wire racks for 15 minutes before turning out to cool completely.
