Instructions
- Butter and flour a 9 x 13-inch cake pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Whisk in the kosher salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, canola oil and vanilla extract until it looks homogenous and creamy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir together with a stiff spatula. The batter will be thick like frosting.
- Pour in the piping hot coffee. The batter will look like mud pies in a muddy lake. Keep stirring until all the liquid is incorporated and it is a homogenized cake batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
- Take the cake out of the oven and set it on a baking rack to cool. After about 30 minutes spread the frosting on top.,Cut and serve the cake straight from the pan like it’s 1983 and you’re rockin’ your favorite knee-high tube socks with the yellow stripe. Aw, yeah!
