In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix well.
4.
In a saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter and add 1 cup of strong brewed coffee. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and pour into the dry ingredients.
5.
Add 1/2 cup of buttermilk, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
6.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Add 1/4 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in 3 cups of powdered sugar until smooth.
