Covfefe Cake
Despite the Negative Press
A rich chocolate-espresso cake that nobody can quite explain but everyone is talking about. Layers of mystery, frosted with plausible deniability.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round pans. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. The batter will be thin — this is by design, not a mistake. Never a mistake.
Divide between pans and bake 30-35 minutes. Cool completely. Patience is a virtue, though not a widely practiced one.
Beat butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, espresso, cocoa, vanilla, and salt. Beat until smooth. Frost the cake. Post about it at midnight.
Tip: For extra covfefe energy, double the espresso in the frosting.
