Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 9-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together sugars, oil, sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and black coffee until combined.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
Divide batter among prepared 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.
For the buttercream: Beat butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and cooled coffee until fluffy.
