Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/176°C
  • Grease and lightly flour a 12 cup bundt cake pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well to combine.
  • Stir the mayonnaise mixture and the coffee into the flour mixture until combined. The batter will be thin. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until a cake tester comes out with just a few crumbs attached, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for ten minutes before turning it out. Remove the cake from the pan and allow it to cool completely.

Notes

  • It’s very important to allow your cake to cool. If you move it while it’s still warm it is likely to fall apart.
  • Always use full-fat mayonnaise, any other mayonnaise will not give you the desired results.
  • Try to use the best quality cocoa powder you can find. It really makes a huge difference to the flavor of your cake.
