Fudgy Deluxe Chocolate Cake Recipes

FUDGY CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Oil a 23cm round cake tin, then line the base with baking parchment.
• Whizz the chocolate into small pieces in a food processor. Tip the flour, sugar, cocoa, oil, soured cream, eggs, vanilla, dissolved coffee and 100ml hot water into a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything together with electric beaters until smooth, then quickly stir in the whizzedup chocolate bits. Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 50 mins-1 hr until risen and springy to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
• To make the icing, beat the butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the icing sugar, cocoa and a drop of milk, and beat until creamy. Beat in more milk, if necessary, to loosen the icing to a spreadable consistency. Spread the icing over the top of the cake and sprinkle with crumbled Flake. The cake can be kept in an airtight container for 1-2 days.

• THE CAKE:.

• Mix flour, soda, and salt and set aside.
• Beat the margarine in a mixer until it's soft
• Add brown sugar and eggs and beat until light and fluffy (about 5 min.).
• Beat in vanilla and cooled melted chocolate.
• Mix in sour cream and dry ingredients alternately, and then beat well.
• Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin and runny).
• Pour batter into pans evenly, and bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes, or until toothpick comes out cleanly.
• Allow to cool on a rack for 10 minutes, and then remove from pans.
• Allow cakes to cool completely, and then frost.
• SUPER FUDGEY FROSTING:.
• Melt chocolate and butter together ( I microwave it) and allow to cool
• Combine milk, vanilla, and confectioner's sugar in a mixer and mix on low.
• Add melted butter and chocolate.
• Whip until frosting is of spreading consistency.(If butter/chocolate mixture is still warm, it takes a bit of time to set up).
