1. In a large bowl, add 2 cups of all purpose flour, 2 cups of white granulated sugar, three-quarter cup of cocoa powder, quarter teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Whisk all the ingredients together until mixed.

2. Using an electric mixer, mix together 2 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, half a cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup of coffee, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. Mix until all ingredients are well blended.

3. Add the dry ingredients mixture one-third at a time to the wet mixture and mix until just blended. Preheat oven to 350 F.

4. Butter two 9 inch springform pans and dust with cocoa powder. Then add the cake batter to both pans evenly. Bake at 350 F for 30-35 minutes. Insert toothpick into the center of the cake, if it comes out clean, your cake is done baking.

5. To create the sugar syrup, add 1 cup of water to a small pan over medium high heat and 1 cup of white granulated sugar. Continue cooking until the water boils. Then remove from heat and let it cool.

6. Add three-quarter cup of unsalted butter at room temperature to a large bowl and mix on high speed using an electric mixer. Beat the butter until light and fluffy, then add one and half cups of cream cheese at room temperature and continue mixing until combined. Reduce speed to low and add half a cup of icing sugar and mix until combined. Then add two-third cup of cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture has turned creamy.

7. Once the cakes have cooled down, place one of the cakes flat side down and cut the top of the cake to make the surface flat. Pour the sugar syrup on top of the cake, making sure to cover all of it. Place the frosting inside a piping bag or you can use a spatula to spread the frosting over the cake. Then pour the sugar syrup on the flat side of the second cake and add the second layer on top of the first cake, flat side down. I left the rounded top of the second cake uncut but you can cut the top if you want a flat looking cake.

8. Cover the top and sides with frosting, spreading it evenly. I created petal shapes on the top with the cake spatula and added some blueberries on top to finish it off. You can add any berries of your choice or leave it as it is. Your chocolate cake is ready to be served!
