Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round baking pans.
In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients: flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine wet ingredients: black coffee, vegetable oil, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients; mix until just combined.
Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
For the frosting, beat together room temperature butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and black coffee until smooth.
Once cooled, layer the cakes with frosting in between each layer and frost the top and sides.
