Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans by greasing with oil and lining with parchment paper.
- Sift together all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and espresso powder in a large mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, vanilla extract, canola oil, and apple cider vinegar until well blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
- Frost the cooled cakes with the prepared espresso buttercream and serve.
