  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together brewed coffee, vegetable oil, large eggs, and vanilla extract until combined and slightly frothy.
  • Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips evenly to enhance the chocolatey goodness.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, checking with a toothpick until it comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
