Best ever chocolate cake



I got this recipe on Pinterest.
(I changed the coffee to orange juice with 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder added)

BLACK MAGIC CAKE (BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE EVER!)

- 1 3/4 c all purpose flour
- 2 c sugar
- 3/4 c cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 c strong black coffee, cooled
- 1 c buttermilk
- 1/2 c vegetable oil
- 1 tsp real vanilla extract
CHOCOLATE FROSTING
- 1/2 c margarine, softened
- 2 oz melted unsweetened chocolate, cooled
- 3 c powdered sugar
- 3 Tbsp milk
- 2 tsp real vanilla extract
1.   Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer.
2.   Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla.
3.   Beat at medium speed for two minutes. Batter will be thin.
4.   Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x13 pan or two 9 inch cake pans.
5.   Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes for a 9x13, or 30-35 minutes for layer pans.
6.   Combine frosting ingredients and mix with a hand or stand mixer. Spread frosting on cooled cakes.
