Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 9-inch round baking pans.
In one bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: oil, sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and cooled black coffee until smooth.
Gradually combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients; mix until just combined.
Divide batter among pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
For frosting: beat room-temperature butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and mix in vanilla extract and cooled coffee.
Assemble the cake by layering with frosting between each layer and covering the top and sides.
