My first homemade cake and first time trying out my new cast iron bundt pan!! Wowwwy…. it’s delicious!!! Fun to make and pretty easy too. Now I’m hooked on making cakes. Poor Greg.

With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat oil, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and coffee until well mixed, about 2 minutes. In a separate bowl mix sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Beating mixer on a low speed, slowly add dry ingredients into wet. Continue to mix until no dry lumps remain.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake looks shiny and the edges slightly pull away from the pan.

Let rest 10 minutes before turning out. Let cool completely, then drizzle with ganache or dust with powdered sugar.
