Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 8-inch round baking pans and line with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, sugars, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine vegetable oil, sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and black coffee until smooth.
Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined.
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cakes in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare buttercream by beating room temperature butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and mix in vanilla and cooled coffee until fluffy.
Assemble by layering cakes with buttercream in between each layer and frost the top and sides.
