Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 9-inch round baking pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, sugars, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix black coffee, vegetable oil, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients gently until just mixed.
Divide batter among prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cakes for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
For frosting, beat room temperature butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and cooled black coffee until fluffy.
Once cool, layer cakes with buttercream between each layer.
