In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Add the cooled coffee, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture, and mix until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Add the milk to the batter and mix until smooth.

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans and placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.

Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, espresso powder, and vanilla extract to the butter, and mix on low speed until just combined.

Place the second cake layer on top of the first, and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

Decorate the cake with chocolate shavings or any other desired toppings.
