Chocolate Fudge Cake and Its Nutritional Information

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (60g) cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) hot water (or hot coffee for a richer flavor)

For the Fudge Frosting:

  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Recipe:

1. Prepare the Cake Batter:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  • Add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  • Gradually add hot water or coffee while stirring the batter. The batter will be thin, which is normal.

2. Bake the Cake:

  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Make the Fudge Frosting:

  • In a heatproof bowl, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Heat in the microwave or over a double boiler until melted and smooth.
  • Stir in vanilla extract and let the frosting cool slightly to thicken.

4. Assemble the Cake:

  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top.
  • Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides. Smooth the frosting with a spatula for a professional finish.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Slice and serve your chocolate fudge cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
