    Ingredients

    • ONE-BOWL CAKE
    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • 1 cup water
    • 2/3 cup cooking oil
    • 2 cups sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 tsp. baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp. salt
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • ESPRESSO CREAM FILLING
    • 1 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1 tsp instant espresso powder
    • CHOCOLATE GLAZE
    • 1/2 cup whipping cream
    • 4 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped

    Directions

    1. 1. PREPARE OVEN AND PANS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9x 1-1/2-inch round baking pans; set aside.
    2. 2. COMBINE INGREDIENTS: In an extra-large bowl combine buttermilk, water, oil, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and salt. Using a large wire whisk, whisk until well combined. Add flour and cocoa powder; whisk vigorously until smooth. Divide batter between prepared pans.
    3. 3. DO THE TOUCH TEST: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until top springs back when lightly touched in center. Cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.
    4. 4. PREPARE ESPRESSO CREAM FILLING: In a medium bowl whisk together cream cheese, sugar, and espresso powder until thickened. Place one cake layer on plate. Spread filling over top. Top with second cake layer.
    5. 5. MAKE CHOCOLATE GLAZE: In a saucepan bring whipping cream just to boiling over medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Add chocolate (do not stir). Let stand 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Cool 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Pour over cake, allowing glaze to drip down sides. Chill until set, about 30 minutes. Top with desired toppers.
