Ingredients

For the Cake:

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 ¾ cups sugar

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 cup coffee, cooled

1 cup buttermilk

½ cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

For the Frosting:

½ cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature

⅔ cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups powdered sugar

⅓ cup milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, coffee, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla.

Combine wet and dry ingredients and beat until smooth, scraping the bowl as needed.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, heat sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl for 1–2 minutes, stirring until smooth.

Let the cake cool for 5 minutes. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes across the cake.

Pour the warm filling over the cake, spreading it to fill the holes. Let the cake cool to room temperature.

To make the frosting, beat butter and cocoa together. Add vanilla, then gradually mix in milk and powdered sugar until smooth.

Frost the cooled cake and serve.

Notes

Brewed coffee enhances the chocolate flavor, but you can substitute with hot water if preferred.

Let the cake cool completely before frosting for best results.

Store in the refrigerator if not serving immediately.

Cake stays moist and delicious for up to 4–5 days when stored properly.
