2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup canola oil
1 cup brewed coffee
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FAVORITE ICING:
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 4 tablespoons sprinkles, optional
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour two 9-in. round baking pans. Sift dry ingredients together into a large bowl. Add oil, coffee and milk; mix at medium speed 1 minute. Add eggs and vanilla; beat 2 minutes longer. (Batter will be thin.) Pour into prepared pans.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Meanwhile, for icing, in a small saucepan, whisk flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
In a large bowl, beat butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla until creamy, 3-4 minutes. Add chilled milk mixture and beat 10 minutes. Stir in sprinkles if desired. Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake.
