    2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or cake flour
    2 cups sugar
    3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder and baking soda
    1 tsp salt
    1 3/4 c buttermilk
    2 eggs, beaten
    1/4 vegetable oil

1. Dissolve espresso powder in boiling water; let cool. Grease or spray 13x19 inch (3L) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; line bottom with waxed paper.
