1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour gives the cake its structure and helps it rise beautifully.
1 ½ cups granulated sugar adds sweetness and moisture for a rich flavor.
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder brings in that deep, chocolatey goodness every dessert lover craves.
1 cup brewed coffee enhances the chocolate flavor and infuses your cake with a delightful richness.
½ cup vegetable oil keeps the cake moist and tender.
3 large eggs essential for binding ingredients together and adding a fluffy texture.
1 tablespoon vanilla extract elevates the flavor profile with a warm, aromatic touch.
½ teaspoon baking powder works with the baking soda to ensure your cake rises perfectly.
¼ teaspoon baking soda adds lift and lightness, ensuring a tender crumb.
1 tablespoon salt balances the sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
½ cup chocolate chips optional, for an extra burst of chocolate in every bite.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch cake pan by greasing it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk until blended.
Pour brewed coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients; mix until the batter is smooth and glossy.
Gently fold in chocolate chips if using, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Use freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor and store any leftovers in an airtight container.
