- 3 1/2 cups confectioners sugar

- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 cup strong hot coffee
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/8 cup milk
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, light brown sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, confectioners sugar, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, canola oil, hot coffee, and unsalted butter until well combined.
