Chocolate Fudge Cake is a rich, creamy dessert blending intense chocolate flavor with a moist, velvety texture. This decadent cake combines deep cocoa richness and a melt-in-your-mouth consistency, perfect for any occasion or indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • Quality cocoa powder
  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder or baking soda

Chocolate and Fat

  • Unsweetened chocolate or baking chocolate
  • Butter

Sweets and Flavorings

  • Sugar
  • Vanilla extract

Wet Ingredients

  • Large eggs
  • Milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by preheating your oven and greasing your baking pan thoroughly. Measure and sift your dry ingredients – cocoa powder, flour, and leavening agents – to ensure smooth batter consistency. Melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together gently, then allow to cool slightly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then incorporate the vanilla extract. Slowly blend in the cooled chocolate-butter mixture to combine the rich fudgy base.
  3. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gently fold your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mix, alternating with small amounts of milk or cream to maintain the batter’s smooth texture while avoiding overmixing.
  4. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter, ensuring the perfect fudgy consistency.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing or frosting. This resting period helps the fudge texture to set beautifully for that melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Notes

  • Choose high quality chocolate: The flavor of the cake depends heavily on the cocoa and chocolate you use.
  • Don’t overbake: To retain the fudgy texture, check the cake a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
  • Room temperature ingredients: Using eggs and butter at room temperature promotes even mixing and better texture.
  • Sift dry ingredients: Sifting prevents clumps and ensures a smooth batter.
  • Let it cool fully: Cooling allows the cake to firm up so the fudge effect shines through.
