Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large separate mixing bowl whisk together flour, soda, baking powder, and cocoa and set aside. Using an electric mixer and mixing bowl, mix sugar, butter, cooking oil, and eggs. Add sour cream and milk. Begin adding dry ingredients 1/2 cup at a time.
- After adding 1 1/2 cups of dry ingredients, add hot coffee. Finish adding flour. Add vanilla. Batter will be thin. Pour into 3 well-greased and floured round cake pans, or into one 13”x9”x2” sheet pan. There is too much batter for two cake pans. Don’t fill cake pans over 3/4 “full.
- Bake until middle of cake rises, and sides begin to pull away from edges of pan. Do not open oven to check until 25 minutes has passed for round layers and 30 minutes has passed for sheet cake. Watch close at end and take out when toothpick comes out clean.
- Whisk powdered sugar and cocoa together in a separate bowl. With an electric mixer whisk together butter and shortening until fluffy. Next add sour cream, mix. Add dry ingredients 1/2 cup at a time until it is all added. Beat 2-3 minutes on high until light and fluffy. Enjoy!
