• Chocolate Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in the center. Spray two 8X2- inch round cake pans with nonstick spray. Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Combine water, oil, vinegar, instant coffee granules, and vanilla in a large measuring cup.

Cool cakes on a rack for 15 minutes, then invert them onto the rack. Leave cakes upside down (this flattens domed cakes)to cool completely.
