Colette's Chocolate Cake

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Grease the sides and bottom of 2 (9-inch) cake pans with shortening and then dust them with flour.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the coffee.

Mix at low speed until blended, scaping the sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula.

Slowly add the coffee while mixing on low.

Mix until smooth.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in the pans on a wire racks for about 20 minutes, then invert onto racks and remove pans.

Cool completely.
