There’s nothing quite like a rich and decadent chocolate fudge cake to satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your friends. If you’re a chocolate lover like I am, this recipe is perfect for you. Here’s how I make my ultra-moist, fudgy chocolate cake that comes together easily and delivers amazing results.
Ingredients: To make this delicious cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
For the fudge frosting, gather these ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions: Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get started!
Step 1: First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). I prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them with butter and dusting them with flour to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, I combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. I mix them well until thoroughly incorporated.
Step 3: Next, I add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. I whisk everything together until smooth. Then, I carefully mix in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s exactly what I want for a moist cake.
Step 4: I pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, I remove the pans from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5: While the cakes are cooling, I prepare the fudge frosting. I beat the softened butter in a mixing bowl until creamy, then gradually add the cocoa powder, followed by the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.
Step 6: Once the cakes are cool, I frost the top of one layer and place the second layer on top. I then cover the entire cake with the rich fudge frosting. For added decoration, I like to sprinkle some chocolate shavings or drizzle some chocolate sauce on top.
And there you have it! A rich and decadent chocolate fudge cake that you can enjoy any time. Serve it at your next gathering or just treat yourself—either way, I’m sure you’ll love it!
