Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃) F. Coat a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with a circle of wax paper.

Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in buttermilk, brown sugar, egg, oil and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Add hot coffee and beat to blend. (The batter will be quite thin.)

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake until a wood stick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, remove from the pan, peel off the wax paper and let cool completely.

Dust the top with powered sugar before slicing.
