How to Make the Chocolate Cake
The first step in making the cake is to grease and flour two 8inch cake pans. I divided the batter into one 8inch pan and one 6inch pan in the photos which you could also do but you will have some batter leftover. Once you have prepared the cake pans its time to prepare the batter. You will see why this is called One Bowl Chocolate Fruit Cake because you mix all the cake batter into just one bowl!
In the bowl of a stand mixer add the cocoa flour sugar baking soda baking powder and salt and mix on low until combined. Next add the eggs one at a time buttermilk coffee oil and vanilla. Mix at medium speed until smooth about 3 minutes. Divide the batter into the two cake pans and bake for 2530 minutes at
