Black Velvet Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Cake
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 cups sugar
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 eggs
    1 cup cold espresso
    1 cup buttermilk
    1/2 cup vegetable oil
    Dark Chocolate Frosting
    1 cup butter, melted
    1 1/3 cups dark cocoa powder
    6 cups powdered sugar, sifted
    2/3 cup milk
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray one 10-inch bundt pan or two 9-inch round pans with a nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
    Make a well in the center and pour in the eggs, coffee, milk and oil. Mix until smooth; batter will be thin.
    Pour into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven 35 to 40 minutes for bundt pan, 25 minutes for 9-inch round pans, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
    In a large bowl, mix together melted butter and cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency.
    Add a small amount of additional milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla.
    Frost cake and garnish as desired.
