Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8 inch cake pans.

Combine milk and vinegar to make sour milk; set aside.

Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Whisk together the eggs, oil, coffee and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir in the sour milk. Gradually beat in the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated.

Pour batter into prepared pans. Place pans on center rack and place a cookie sheet on lower rack just in case there are spill-overs.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Cool completely before filling.
