Directions
For the cake, adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Grease two 8x1½ round baking pans with shortening. Line pan bottoms with waxed or parchment paper; grease paper as well. Dust with flour; tap out excess.
Mix cocoa and instant coffee in small bowl; add boiling water and mix until smooth. Cool to room temperature, then stir in vanilla.
Beat butter in bowl of electric mixer set at medium-high speed (#4 on Kitchen Aid) until smooth and shiny, about 30 seconds. Gradually sprinkle in sugar; beat until mixture is fluffy and almost white, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating 1 full minute after each addition.
