🍫 Rich Chocolate Fudge Cake (Serves 8–10)

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 200g plain flour
  • 75g cocoa powder (good quality, unsweetened)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 250g caster sugar
  • 100g brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 240ml whole milk
  • 120ml vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 240ml hot coffee (enhances chocolate flavor)

For the Fudge Frosting

  • 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 150g butter
  • 200g icing sugar (sifted)
  • 3–4 tbsp double cream

Method

1️⃣ Make the Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F).
  2. Grease and line two 8-inch round tins.
  3. Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda together.
  4. In another bowl, whisk sugars, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients.
  6. Slowly mix in hot coffee (batter will be thin — that’s normal).
  7. Pour into tins and bake 30–35 minutes.
  8. Cool completely before frosting.

2️⃣ Make the Fudge Frosting

  1. Melt chocolate and butter together (microwave or bain-marie).
  2. Let cool slightly.
  3. Beat in icing sugar and cream until thick and glossy.
  4. Chill 20–30 minutes if you want that thick, spreadable fudge texture like in the photo.

3️⃣ Assemble

  • Spread a thick layer between cakes.
  • Cover top and sides generously.
  • Smooth with a spatula for that shiny, dense finish.

🔥 Tips for Extra Fudginess

  • Replace 50g flour with ground almonds for extra moisture.
  • Don’t overbake — slightly underdone = ultra moist.
  • Use dark cocoa for that nearly black finish.
