for the cakes
- 1 or 2 mini bundt pans (if you only have one, you’ll just bake them one tray at a time)*

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cups good cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
for the cakes
- Grease and flour the crap out of your pans (or spray with baking spray).
- Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry until fully combined. Scrape the entire bowl with a rubber spatula. With mixer still on low, add the coffee and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared mini bundt pans (each well should be about 3/4 full) and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 30 minutes (I mean it), then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
- I used my standard vanilla buttercream recipe. You can find it in the link above!
- As far as cereal, I just stuffed some into the buttercream and piled some on top. Then I melted some milk chocolate chips and drizzled it on top to add to the drama!
Notes
*You can usually thrift these for just a couple dollars. Don’t buy one full priced until you’ve tried to bargain shop
