Certainly! Here’s a recipe for a One-Bowl Chocolate Cake with Mocha Buttercream:

One-Bowl Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
• 1 and 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup (240ml) boiling water or hot coffee

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth.
4. Carefully stir in the boiling water or hot coffee until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Mocha Buttercream

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3 and 1/2 cups (440g) powdered sugar, sifted
• 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
• 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules or espresso powder
• 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Dissolve the instant coffee granules or espresso powder in the heavy cream.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter on high speed until creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating on low speed until incorporated.
4. Add the dissolved coffee, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on high speed for 3-4 minutes until the buttercream is light and fluffy.
5. If the buttercream is too thick, add a bit more cream, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

Assembly

1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
2. Spread a generous amount of mocha buttercream over the top of the first layer.
3. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining buttercream.
4. Decorate as desired, and enjoy!

This one-bowl chocolate cake is easy to make and pairs perfectly with the rich, creamy mocha buttercream. Enjoy your baking!
