Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee.
Mix in milk, oil, eggs, and extracts until combined. Add orange zest (if desired) and mix again.
Cautiously and slowly add the cup of boiling water and mix. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowls so that all the batter is uniform. It will be quite loose and liquid at this point.
Pour evenly into cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes and test with wooden skewer for doneness. When skewer emerges clean, remove from oven and let cool.
Once cool, remove from pan and brush tops with liqueur. Ice with chocolate buttercream frosting. Garnish with fresh raspberries or strawberries, and serve.
