Chocolate Fudge Cake


Chocolate Fudge Cake

Ingredients

For the cake

  • All-purpose flour – 2 cups (250 g)
  • Granulated sugar – 2 cups (400 g)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder – ¾ cup (75 g)
  • Baking powder – 2 tsp (8 g)
  • Baking soda – 1½ tsp (7 g)
  • Salt – 1 tsp (5 g)
  • Eggs – 2 large
  • Milk – 1 cup (240 ml)
  • Vegetable oil – ½ cup (120 ml)
  • Vanilla extract – 2 tsp
  • Hot water or hot coffee – 1 cup (240 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans (or one 9×13 pan).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat until smooth (about 2 minutes).
  4. Slowly stir in the hot water/coffee. The batter will be thin — that’s normal and key to a moist cake.
  5. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
  6. Bake 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional: Simple Chocolate Fudge Frosting

  • Butter – ½ cup (115 g), softened
  • Cocoa powder – ½ cup (50 g)
  • Powdered sugar – 3½ cups (420 g)
  • Milk or cream – ¼–½ cup
  • Vanilla extract – 1 tsp

Beat everything together until thick, smooth, and spreadable.
