Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.
To make the chocolate and coffee frosting, cream together the butter and cocoa powder until combined. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, alternating with the coffee. Beat until light and fluffy. Spread the frosting over the cooled cakes.
