Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plus 1/2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Butter two 8-in. round cake pans. Line bottoms with waxed paper cut to fit. Butter paper, then dust pans with 1/2 tbsp. cocoa.
  2. Whisk remaining 1 cup cocoa, the flour, sugars, cinnamon, soda, cayenne, and salt in a bowl to blend. Add milk, oils, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Pour into pans, dividing batter evenly.
  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in each cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
  4. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes. Loosen cakes from pans with a metal spatula. Turn out each cake onto a plate. Discard waxed paper. Invert cakes onto racks and cool completely. Sift powdered sugar over stencils onto cakes.
  5. Make ahead: Up to 1 day, covered; top with powdered sugar after unwrapping.
