Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold, brewed coffee
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup butter
½ cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine and sift together 2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, cocoa, salt, baking soda and baking powder. In a small bowl, blend together eggs, oil, 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla; combine with dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly and then stir in one cup cold coffee (may use instant coffee). Batter will be very thin but it bakes into a rich, dark, moist cake.
Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake for about 40 minutes.
To Make Whipped Cream Frosting: Combine 1/4 cup flour and 1 cup milk, adding milk slowly and beating until smooth. Set over moderate heat and stir constantly until thickened. Set aside to chill completely. Combine 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar with 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup shortening beating until light and fluffy; stir in well cooled flour-milk mixture and beat at high speed until thick and creamy. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat until thoroughly combined. Spread frosting over cooled cake. Enjoy!
